I have a Target card, although I was not in the store during the period they mention. However, I did use the card on-line. I wonder if they managed to capture my info?
I’ve received a couple of odd email which I did not open. I’m sure they were phishing mails — especially the one I got today that said that I needed to upgrade some bank account which I do not have. Delete!
The news reports I saw indicated that the problem was limited to card readers at Target stores. However those reports also indicated, at least as I understood them, that ANY credit or debit card that was run though a reader at a Target store during that period WAS compromised.
Further, at least one report indicated that there have been indications of trouble at other retailers. It looks like if one has used their card in the last month or so, it’d be a good idea to check one’s statements and “activity”, the latter perhaps every weekend, for unauthorized activity. I’d keep checking, indefinitely.
