malware. Immediately, people got up [and left the room] and checked on

about four months now, gradually ramping up to 100 member retail
organizations participating in the industry's information sharing and
analysis center (ISAC). Target, American Eagle Outfitters, Gap, JC Penney,

board of directors of the R-CISC, a portal-based threat
