TJX Credit-Monitoring Offer No Good For 99% Of Breach Sufferers

Jon Brodkin writes on NetworkWorld:

TJX customers who lost a whopping 45.2 million credit or debit card numbers will not be offered credit monitoring in the tentative settlement TJX drafted in hopes of smoothing over its data breach controversy.

TJX is offering three years of credit monitoring and identity theft insurance, but only to 455,000 customers who returned merchandise to TJX stores without receipts. The entire breach affected 45.7 million card numbers, the owners of which will be offered vouchers that can be used at TJX stores.
