How would you like to tell your customers and shareholders you've been stolen from for the last four years?

TJX is still in the news with even more bad news. A story today on CNET "T.J. Maxx probe finds broader hacking" claims the retailer has discovered that its customers' credit card data was stolen since 2003! Just imagine what damage that will have to the share price, their customers and credit card companies who must now reissue cards for millions and millions of their customers! I bet their management team and board is wishing they were a lot more interested in enterprise security several years ago.

UPDATE: Since I wrote this blog further press reports indicate that data was stolen from 2003 but that the attacks stealing this were from early 2005.
