This is definitely a good thing. TJX had how long to close those holes. It's a big corporation using their muscle to deceive the public into thinking everything is "ok" when it obviously is not. This is 2008 - anyone in IT should know what a strong password is. Even if they don't, they should at least know a blank password is a major "no no". Whoever sanctioned the use of blank passwords are the ones who should be fired.
