“Target reveals more customer data exposed in breach”

‘The size and scope of the consumer data heist from Target Corp. last month is much greater than previously thought, with up to 110 million people at risk by the exposure of credit and debit card numbers, as well as mailing addresses, e-mails and phone ­numbers, the company said Friday.

The revelation means that the data breach may be the largest ever involving a U.S. retailer and could lead to more complex types of fraud and identity theft for many of those affected.

“It’s big, it’s ugly, and it’s not fun for anyone but the bad guys,” said Jacob Ansari, a data forensics investigator at 403 Labs LLC in Brookfield, Wis.’

Nice try, but no I don't work for one. Stuff like address, email, phone number is stored on other systems run by the credit card companies. After all, if you move or change your phone number the company doesn't issue you a new card. The fact that customer specific information was obtained does not mean that it is stored on the card, it means that the systems containing that information were penetrated.
