TJ Maxx identity theft settlement far from settled
A few days ago I mentioned efforts by TJ Maxx to settle the first class action lawsuits stemming from its massive data breach earlier this year.
One of the many questionable components of the settlement was TJ Maxx' offer of a $30 voucher for affected customers. But at the same time as TJ Maxx was admitting that it wasn't in a position to even let all affected customers know about the offer, a judge set to hear the lawsuit questioned the validity of a voucher that would only be valid at a TJ maxx or related store.
Instead he suggested a simple cash payment, something that could cost TJ Maxx a lot more.
Good on ya, Judge. Time for TJ Maxx to take its punishinment and pay up.
