If you've shopped at Target anytime from November 27 - December 15...

MINNEAPOLIS —

Target today confirmed it is aware of unauthorized access to payment card data that may have impacted certain guests making credit and debit card purchases in its U.S. stores. Target is working closely with law enforcement and financial institutions, and has identified and resolved the issue.

“Target’s first priority is preserving the trust of our guests and we have moved swiftly to address this issue, so guests can shop with confidence. We regret any inconvenience this may cause,” said Gregg Steinhafel, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Target. “We take this matter very seriously and are working with law enforcement to bring those responsible to justice.”

Approximately 40 million credit and debit card accounts may have been impacted between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, 2013. Target alerted authorities and financial institutions immediately after it was made aware of the unauthorized access, and is putting all appropriate resources behind these efforts. Among other actions, Target is partnering with a leading third-party forensics firm to conduct a thorough investigation of the incident.

More information is available at Target’s corporate website. Guests who suspect unauthorized activity should contact Target at: 866-852-8680.

  • I know @ac1259!  This same thing happened at our local chain grocery store earlier this year (February?)  I don't think I know somebody that was NOT compromised.  We had some larger charges from some Dollar General stores in Chicago on our cards (we live in St. Louis).

  • Any one else find it really unacceptable that it took Target this long to figure it out?  I cant believe how long it went on for and how widespread it was before anyone noticed anything!




  • I'll be sure to check our credit card statements, cause we shop at Target a lot.

    I'm really glad the US is finally catching up with modern times and migrating to the vastly more secure chip/pin credit card system that europe has been using for like a decade. That will cut this nonsense down by a ton.

  • I checked my Target account this morning. I did shop there on 12/15 but so far I haven't seen any unusual activity. It actually makes me happy that I have the Target card. It would be so much worse if one of my regular credit cards had been compromised.

  • Yeah I heard about this....I'm going to continue to monitor my account like a hawk and not cancel the card and get a new one ONLY because we just had to cancel this card twice in the past month due to the # being stolen and its the account I use for all of my automatic drafts and its such a freaking pain to have to switch everything over a third time.....

    It's funny- I haven't been to a Target in over a year and last week was the first time I've been in forever. Just my luck. 
  • Fan-frickin-tastic! I shop there ALLLLLllllllll the time.  So I wonder if this affects RedCard members?

  • Ugh, I go to Target every other week at least.
  • My debit card was one of the ones that got hacked through Target. There were a bunch of different charges from FARMACORP, ranging from $8 to $400 on my account. Luckily, my bank froze my account and they only successfully got $26 from me. I cancelled my card and they are sending me a new one, and crediting my money back. I have to use checks to do my holiday shopping this weekend!

    Yikes! So sorry!

    *running off to check my account now*

    @LuGal623: I think it does. The Target website says that RedCard members who have unusual activity on their accounts should contact Target and everyone else should contact their bank or credit card company.

    Luckily my bank made it very easy for me! They were super helpful and quickly recognized the fraud charges! I'm glad they only got $26 from me! I'm sure others got it a lot worse!

    Ya definitely a good catch by your bank. I just went through my bank transactions. Nothing out of the ordinary. Lol, think I can claim fraudulent activity on am my Christmas purchases? So kidding.

  • Does anyone know if online purchases would also be part of this? I never went to an actual store, but I bought something online cyber Monday...
