Credit Card Headaches From TJX Breach Remain
Se Young Lee writes in The Boston Globe:
Almost seven months after the biggest security breach of financial data in the nation was revealed, some banks still appear to be sorting out which of their credit card customers were put at risk.More here.
Retail giant TJX Cos., with headquarters in Framingham, revealed this spring that at least 45.7 million credit and debit card numbers were compromised by hackers who gained access to the company's computer systems in the second half of 2005 as well as from May 2006 to January of this year. But some companies, such as Citibank, are still reissuing cards for customers whose information may have been exposed.
