Backed by two women whose secret ''whistleblower'' lawsuit exposed the transfer of state employee personnel data to a computer processing company in India, the Democratic nominee for attorney general said Thursday that privatization of state personnel services has posed ''a clear and present danger'' of identity theft.
State Sen. Walter ''Skip'' Campbell said terrorists might even find use for personal information contained in more than 100,000 files that were indexed by a Denver company, GDXData, in the ''People First'' personnel system.
..... Newcomer said the lawsuit against GDXData is ''in the final investigative part'' determining to expand the case to include Convergys.
