Irony of ironies: FTC head's credit card info stolen in DSW data breach

An AP newswire article, via The Mercury News (subscription required):

The Federal Trade Commission helps millions of consumers each year battle identity theft. Now the woman who runs the agency, Deborah Platt Majoras, finds herself a potential victim.

An FTC spokeswoman says Majoras received a letter last week from shoe retailer DSW Inc. informing her that her credit card information had been stolen. The spokeswoman declined further comment. The theft was reported by Newsweek.

Majoras' credit card number was among 1.4 million that were stolen from a company database.
