The IT Compliance Institute has reported that the number of affected customer credit card records that were nabbed in the TJX (TKMAXX) Data Breach a while back is actually double the amount originally thought.

Quoting from their coverage…

“Recently filed court documents indicate that the scale of the TJX data breach was essentially double what was originally announced, involving 94 million accounts rather than 45.6 million.

The new number surfaced in court documents filed by a group of banks that are suing the retailer over the incident, and are trying to have the matter certified as a class action suit.

The documents cited figures from the card companies rather than from TJX, indicated that 65 million Visa and 29 million MasterCard accounts were exposed.”

Ho hum.

Why is this a trainwreck?  Why don’t you tell us (we already know).
