Credit Card Attacks Reach a Tipping Point

There's probably never a good time to have your customers' credit card data hacked, but the height of the holiday shopping season is no doubt the worst. Of course, that's exactly what happened to Target at the end of last year when the retail giant announced that credit card data of 40 million of its customers had been compromised. Adding insult to injury, two weeks ago the company announced that the personal data of 70 million of its customers had been compromised as part of the same security breach.
