A Little Bit:

Reuters has an update, via CNBC, on the U.S. investigation against a identity theft ring that targeted computer systems of major retail chains, including:

  • Barnes & Noble [BKS]
  • BJ’s Wholesale Club [BJ]
  • Boston Market
  • DSW [DSW]
  • Forever 21
  • OfficeMax [OMX]
  • Sports Authority
  • TJX, Inc. [TJX]

The ringleader appears to be a Miami man named Albert Gonzalez, and thus far 11 persons have been identified, including 3 in the U.S., 3 from the Ukraine, 1 from Belarus, 1 from Estonia, and 2 from China.
