More US retailers hit by security breach
The consumer databases of at least three well-known US retailers, in addition to Target and Neiman Marcus, were breached over the holiday shopping season late last year, a report says.
Smaller breaches took place at the undisclosed retailers using similar techniques as the one used on Target, according to Reuters, citing unnamed sources familiar with attacks.
The sources said the cyberattacks involved retailers with outlets in malls, but declined to elaborate. Also, similar breaches may have occurred earlier in 2013, Reuters said.
The perpetrators may be the same as those who launched the attack on Target, the sources said, but they cannot be sure because they are still trying to find the culprits behind all of the attacks.
On Friday, Target, the second largest US retailer, said sensitive information, including customers’ names, mailing addresses, phone numbers and email addresses, was stolen from up to 70 million people in the late November to early December data breach.
The company had previously reported that 40 million credit and debit card accounts were affected during the breach that took place during the first few weeks of the holiday shopping season.
The latest security breach of credit and debit card data is evidence of the increasing threats retailers face and a reminder that the US lags behind much of the world in securing personal financial information.
Many nations have done away with the magnetic strips still used in American issued cards and moved to chips embedded in the cards that are harder to compromise.
