Bank groups in 3 states plan to sue TJX over data theft http://www.mercurynews.com/businessheadlines/ci_5745507 The Associated Press Article Launched: 04/25/2007 01:50:15 AM PDT BOSTON (AP) - Bank associations in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine said Tuesday that they will sue TJX over a data theft that exposed at least 45 million credit and debit cards to potential fraud. Banks have been saddled with costs to replace cards and cover fraudulent charges tied to the theft from TJX, the owner of nearly 2,500 discount stores including T.J. Maxx and Marshalls. On Jan. 17, Framingham, Mass.-based TJX disclosed a breach of its computer systems by an unknown hacker or hackers who accessed card data from transactions as long ago as late 2002. On March 28, TJX said at least 45.7 million of its shoppers' cards had been compromised. -- Rodney Wise http://pplriwse.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/dataloss Tracking more than 207 million compromised records in 630 incidents over 7 years.
