Consumer Affairs follows the story of TJ Maxx vs Consumers as they get sued for losing data due to "failing to maintain adequate computer data security of customer credit and debit card data". Well good.

In a not so surprising story, some large chain stores have been hacked and had their databases of customer information stolen creating a risk for their customers.
The end result is that consumers are often left completely in the dark when data breaches occur, wondering if they dodged a bullet, or if the inconvenience and frustration of fraud is simply waiting to hit them at a later date.I hate these stories. If they didn't store so much data in the first place, this wouldn't even be a problem.
