This article is very scary. For this to happen to a large company like TJX is bad. But what is really interesting is that this wasn’t an e-tailer. This was a large chain store that had their brick and mortor security breeched apparently over the Internet. It seems today no data is safe.Â

This seems almost too over simplified. But the truth is, most of the techies I know don’t get spy ware or viruses. Why? Not because we are immune, but because we don’t go to the types of sites that will get you infected. It’s quite comical to see the faces, or hear the voices of […]
