DSW to Improve Computer Security in U.S. Settlement
Not only did DSW "not adequately protect" consumer financial and credit information, but the head of the FTC, Deborah Platt Majoras, found herself a potential victim.

Shoe retailer DSW Inc. agreed to beef up its computer security to settle U.S. charges that it did not adequately protect customers' credit cards and checking accounts, the Federal Trade Commission said on Thursday.
DSW said this spring that identity thieves had gained access to debit card, credit card and checking account information of more than 1.4 million customers, one of a string of such security breaches announced by U.S. companies this year.
Identity thieves have generated fraudulent activity on some of those accounts, resulting in out-of-pocket charges for some customers, the FTC said.
