J.C. Penney, Target Added To List Of Gonzalez Retail Victims
Written by Evan SchumanAugust 27th, 2009
Albert Gonzalez, who has been accused of managing the data breaches at TJX, Hannaford, 7-Eleven and Heartland (among many others), has once again agreed to plead guilty to parts of two of the three federal cases against him, his attorney, Rene Palomino, said Thursday (Aug. 27). Two other major retail names have also been added to the list of retail victims: J.C. Penney and Target, as the list of unidentified retailers shrinks.
Look for Gonzalez to officially plead guilty to the federal charges from Boston, primarily involving TJX, BJ's Wholesale Club, Boston Market and Sports Authority and New York, primarily involving Dave & Buster's, on Sept. 11.
