From: http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20070330/news_1b30tjx.html TJX data breach now called world's largest 45.7 million cards were compromised You can read the details yourself but this snip stood out: The TJX case would "probably serve as a case study for computer security and business students for years to come," said Beth Givens, director of the San Diego-based Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. "This one could be considered a worst-case scenario." One reason, Givens said, is because of TJX's disclosure late Wednesday that it believed the hacker or hackers "had access to the decryption tool for the encryption software utilized by TJX." Rocky
