11 Charged In TJX, Other Breaches - Via Slashdot: Your Rights Online:

In an indictment returned today by a federal grand jury in Boston, Albert 'Segvec' Gonzalez, of Miami, was charged with computer fraud, wire fraud, access device fraud, aggravated identity theft, and conspiracy for his role in the scheme. Others indicted are from the US, Estonia, China, and Belarus." --- We've been following the TJX breach since the beginning.

MacRonin: Careful reading of the indictments show that the media, card issuers and Federal Trade Commission over-reacted to the TJX incident. TJX was not as bad as we were led to believe. --Ben Wright http://legal-beagle.typepad.com/wrights_legal_beagle/2008/08/credit-card-iss.html
