TJX security breach linked to in-store kiosks
August 12, 2007

Information Week: TJX will be glad when this year is over. The $17 billion-a-year parent company of T.J. Maxx, Marshall's and several other discount retail chains has spent the past eight months dealing with the largest breach of customer data in U.S. history. Few details of the TJX debacle have been made public by the company or investigators, but it appears poorly secured in-store kiosks are at least partly to blame for acting as gateways to the company's IT systems.
