In its hour of need, TJX could use a pro

Not long ago, I noted the “Don’t worry, be happy” video from chairman Ben Cammarata was a telltale sign that things were desperate at TJX Cos. Now we find the retail giant disclosing that “while the company previously believed that the intrusion [into customer credit-card and related data] took place only from May 2006 to January 2007, TJX now believes its computer system was also intruded upon in July 2005 and on various subsequent dates in 2005.”
