The TJX Corporation recently experienced a significant compromise of customer data including DL/ID numbers and the personal information on the front of the documents. TJX Corporation previously sent a letter to the customers identified in the database compromise suggesting they contact their DMV to determine if their DL/ID control numbers have been compromised.
TJ Maxx has notified AAMVA that they intend to release a second letter on April 23 to those same customers. The letter will again suggest the customer visit their DMV Web site and determine whether the DMV has a “Fraud Alert System” that will allow the customer to refer to the TJ Maxx letter and stop a possible ID theft situation.
TJ Maxx has been in contact with every state Attorney General and suggested they make contact with their DMV administrators regarding this situation. For more information, customers and DMVs can visit the TJX.com Web site or contact Selden Fritschner, AAMVA VP, Law Enforcement.
