Target hack grows bigger, and Neiman Marcus gets hit

[thewayne]

First, Target. They revealed that the people who penetrated their network security, or lack thereof, also made off with the names, email and street addresses, and phone numbers of 70 million people. So we could be seeing some interestingly targeted scams. A commenter said that the zip code revealed was that of the store, I tend to doubt that. Anyway, if they made off with your street address and city, it would be easy to look up the zip. This is in addition to the 40 million credit cards compromised, though I'm sure there's significant overlap between the two groups.

Second, Neiman. They revealed that their credit card processor told them in mid December that a compromise happened. They have not announced how many cards were compromised or how it happened pending a report from a forensic investigation company. Like Target, only the brick & mortar side was hit.
