I am never shopping at T.J. Maxx or Marshalls ever again.
A hacker or hackers stole data from at least 45.7 million credit and debit cards of shoppers at off-price retailers including T.J. Maxx and Marshalls in a case believed to be the largest such breach of consumer information.
For the first time since disclosing the theft more than two months ago, the parent company of nearly 2,500 discount stores put a number on how much card data was compromised — and it’s a number TJX Cos. acknowledges could go still higher.
This breach has already been tied to several identity theft crimes after a ring of thieves were arrest in Florida.
