IdentitySweep.com Offers Identity Theft Protection for 40 Million Victims of T.J. Maxx Security Breach

ARLINGTON, VA -- MyPublicInfo, Inc., the leading provider of identity scoring and identity theft monitoring solutions for consumers, is offering its signature IdentitySweep protection service (www.identitysweep.com) for the estimated 40 million victims of the T.J. Maxx data breach.

Dating back to 2003 at T.J. Maxx, Marshall's and other TJX stores, this breach has left millions of consumers potentially vulnerable to identity theft.

While the full extent of the breach is still uncertain, it is believed that the number of exposed cards could reach or exceed 40 million consumers across the United States and Canada, and as far away as Hong Kong and Sweden, making it the largest breach of consumer card information yet.

The exposed debit card and PIN information is particularly hazardous, as debit cards are not protected from liability for fraud charges, and debit card fraud is not detected by credit monitoring.
