Credit card details anyone?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6508983.stm

Hackers have stolen information from at least 45.7 million payment cards used by customers of US retailer TJX, which owns TJ Maxx, and UK outlet TKMaxx.
In a statement to US watchdogs the firm said it did not know the full extent of the theft and its effect on customers.

TJX added that the security breach may also have involved TKMaxx customers in the UK and Ireland.

This not only exposes the firm to risk from a liability standpoint, these kind of things can undermine your brand, and lead customers to be less inclined to shop/use you.  These things will happen, focus on your security, how it works and what processes/procedures you have technically and non-technically to limit your risk exposure.
