More Data on the T.J. Maxx and Marshalls Data Breach

More specific details are coming forth on the T.J. Maxx and Marshalls data breach. It seems that there was a slight under-estimation of the number of files that were compromised:

“…TJX said last March that at least 45.7 million cards were exposed to possible fraud in a breach of its computer systems. Court filings by banks that sued TJX estimated the number of cards affected at more than 100 million.”

Opps! Just missed by fifty four million or so…
