4 Years After TJX Hack, Payment Industry Sets Security Standards
Four years after hackers breached TJX’s unsecured wireless network and stole information on more than 94 million customers, a standards body for the payment-card industry has finally released guidelines for securing wireless networks. The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council released its 33-page report (.pdf) on Thursday. It said the guidelines are the product of a working group composed of more than 40 entities — banks, network security companies and point-of-sale vendors — convened after the wireless networks of several companies, including TJX, the parent company of TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Office Max and other outlets, were hacked.
