In an article in Computerworld, it is reported that TJX has incurred over $150 million in losses as a result of the recent data breach.  See "TJX says breach costs may exceed $150M."  The article states that this is the costliest data theft to date.  The TJX breach is expected to increase spending and investment into data security.  As discussed in a previous Iowa Banking Law Blog article, it has also prompted legislation.  See article on Minnesota Plastic Card Security Act.
