Target Shoppers' Credit Card Info Stolen Across U.S.



Quote:A warning for anyone who has shopped at Target stores since Thanksgiving: Your debit and credit card information may now be in the hands of hackers.
The Secret Service has confirmed thieves have stolen an unknown number of Target customers' payment information, which could affect millions who have shopped there, starting on the busy Black Friday weekend.
The breach reportedly involves nearly all Target stores nationwide, and may have continued until Dec. 15.
Investigators believe the data stored in the cards' magnetic strips was hacked at the cash registers.
Hackers may aim to sell the stolen information wholesale on the black market to people who use it to manufacture phony credit or debit cards. Criminals can then use those fake cards to buy gift cards and eventually convert them into cash.

Target is always getting robbed, I'm not surprised someone went after the cards.

I have not shopped there in awhile. I usually stick to cash anyway. Harder to follow the trail.

Thankfully, I haven't shopped there in a while. Hopefully this all gets sorted out.

And this is why you use cash at Target. Which is quite ironic considering they set themselves up to be a "target" *badumtsss*

I got a notice from my bank about the Target credit/debit card hacking. They were trying to reassure me of how secure my information was and what to do in the event something adverse happened to my account.

Fortunately (for me), I did not shop at target on Black Friday. So, my information was not stolen.
