Wright Bring Class Action Suit for Loss of Credit Card Data; Filed by Berger & Montague, PC and Stern Shapiro Weissberg & Garin, LLP The complaint charges that TJX was negligent for failing to maintain adequate computer data security of customer credit and debit card data, which was accessed and stolen by a computer hacker. As a result of TJX's actions, customer information was stolen from TJX's computer network that handles a wide range of financial information for millions of customers, including credit cards, debit cards linked to checking accounts, and transactions for returned merchandise. Although TJX discovered the data breach in mid- December, 2006, it did not publicly announce the intrusion until one month later when it issued a press release on January 17, 2007. The delay harmed class members in that it prevented them from taking appropriate measures to protect their accounts.
