Encryption faulted in TJX Hacking

For the past eight months, the Canadian government has been investigating an incident of millions of credit card numbers being stolen from two Marshalls department stores in Miami. The company that owns Marshalls, TJX Companies, is in trouble for several reasons. One reason is for the companys lack of upgrading encrypted software, which made this hack relatively easy. Another reason is because the company had gathered too much personal information, and had kept it for too long. Some of the banks that the credit cards are used through have been notified of the hack and will be looking for fraudulent charges.
