Target: 40 million credit, debit cards compromised
Target Corp said data from about 40 million credit and debit card accounts might have been stolen from customers who shopped in its stores over a 19-day period ending Sunday, in one of the largest card breaches at a U.S. retailer.
The company today reported it had identified and resolved the issue, which started on the day before Thanksgiving.
Target did not say how the breach, which might have compromised accounts between November 27 and December 15, had occurred or what percentage of its customers had been affected.
"On December 15, we were able to identify an unauthorized access and we were able at that time to resolve the issue," Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder told Reuters.
