TJ Maxx shoppers who had their identities stolen during a massive security breach will get some justice. A multi-state settlement has been reached with the company that owns the franchise.

Two years ago, someone hacked into the TJX Companies' computer and gained access to millions of card numbers.

TJX owns several stores including TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Home Goods.

The company has agreed to pay more than $9 million, $340,000 of which will go to Tennessee to help beef up security measures.

A toll-free help line has been set up for customers concerned with the computer security breach: 866-484-6978.
