TJX Now PCI Compliant

Ross Kerber writes for The Boston Globe:

TJX Cos. now meets credit card security rules, a company spokeswoman said yesterday, putting the Framingham retailer among a growing number of companies catching up with a Sept. 30 deadline to tighten how they handle consumer information.

Credit card security compliance by the nation's largest companies has risen sharply this year amid growing scrutiny of hackings such as the one that took place through last year at TJX, parent of the TJ Maxx and Marshalls chains. Court papers this week showed the intrusion affected more than 94 million credit and debit card accounts.
