Target: 40 million credit, debit cards compromised

[john's mom]

I used a credit card there during the time in question, but I had also just signed up for credit monitoring because my health insurance company had a laptop stolen so they supplied us with the monitoring service for one free year. I don't blame Target so much, it's not something that hasn't happened before with other companies. (And I'm sure it will happen again, too)

Russian teen believed to have developed software used in Target breach

A 17-year-old Russian boy is believed to be the main developer of the malicious software responsible for allowing hackers to steal credit card numbers and personal data of approximately 70 million Target customers over the holiday shopping season.

In a report released Friday, California-based cyber security firm IntelCrawler said that the so-called malware, known as BlackPOS, has infected the payment systems of six other retailers.
