Maxx and Marshalls customers found out their credit card information had been hacked into, the discount retailer settles with the Federal Trade Commission. The Framingham-based company agreed to have its information audited but avoided paying federal fines.

Data broker Reed Elsevier and its Seisint subsidiary also avoided fines but have agreed to obtain third-party audits biennially for 20 years under a separate settlement with the FTC.
