Retailer TJX Companies, which owns several big discount clothing chains like Marshalls and T. J. Maxx, released a press release yesterday informing customers of a data breach.
The security breach could leave customers around the world exposed to fraud and ID theft from transactions dating back to 2003.

More to come as information is released.
