TJX Data Might Be Linked To Cases In Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia
Written by Evan SchumanMarch 23rd, 2007
In the ongoing sage of the TJX breach, the Wall Street Journal today quoted police sources that law enforcement “looking for a possible TJX link in a spate of recent arrests involving credit-card fraud in Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia.”
This comes on the heels of Florida giftcard arrests tied to TJX data. The Journal also quoted an unnamed TJX spokesperson saying: “While we cannot confirm that the data involved with the Gainesville arrests came from TJX, we continue to cooperate with law enforcement.” Yes, it’s not one of the more informative quotes, but it’s the first we’ve seen of TJX even acknowledging that Florida exists.

Starbucks isn't going to replace their existing enterprise POS system with apps that have 1 percent of the functionality, control and reporting that they need to run their business. Likewise, I'm not going to replace my BMW with a free skateboard, just because both technically enable me to get from A to B.
