Hackers aimed hitting the Target!
Target Store customers and Target credit card systems data were the target of professional hackers. At least 40,000 credit card purchasers were targeted with their personal credit card information as information was gathered from swipes made beginning on November 27th. Target announced that anyone visiting the stores during Nov. 27-December 15 may also be hit with false purchases made from their transactions. Many Target customers were upset with findings and were told to contact their bank to make arrangements to cancel; or get new code numbers for their card accounts. Investigations are being handled with FBI and Target Stores Administration to catch the hackers in order to capture and arrest any persons involved. Meanwhile, the Target help line crashed, and phone lines were almost unreachable to aid with questions and help its customers who possibly may involved. Target is one of the third largest world retailers. Some reports have indicated that some customers are already been tampered as targets. It was stated that on-line shoppers of Target were not effected.
