Target says data breach affects 70 million customers

U.S. retailer Target Corp said on Friday at least 70 million customers were affected by a cyber-attack over the holiday shopping season, nearly double its original estimate, and warned the stolen data was more detailed than first thought.

Target's announcement raised fears among security analysts that the No. 3 U.S. retailer has not yet fully grasped the scope of the data breach, which is considered the second biggest credit card attack in retail history.

"I think they still have no idea how big this is," said David Kennedy, a former U.S. Marine Corps cyber-intelligence analyst who runs his own consulting firm, TrustedSec LLC.

Target's so cheap, even their security's lagging.

That's a bit disturbing. My mother had a lot of issues because of this breach. Chase bank made people get new debit/credit cards...right in the middle of the holiday season. The sad thing is I need to go to Target. I hate Walmart, but until this business is resolved I don't want to shop there.
