Breaches: Boards need to wake up

摘要

The first reports of fraud using data stolen from retail giant TJX in December started to trickle in last week, and many observers fear a torrent will develop. Although the $16 billion company — which operates 2,300 stores, including the T.J. Maxx and Marshalls chains — won't say how many customer records were accessed, it says the hacked systems handled credit card, debit card and check information for transactions in 2003 and from mid-May 2006 through December 2006.
