Target has admitted to a security breach of 40 million combined credit and debit cards that occurred between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15. Only the in-store purchases seem to be affected, not the online store.
Target advises its customers who have shopped in its stores during this timeframe to check their statements carefully for any unauthorized activity. If you spot any unauthorized activity, you are to call your credit card company and then Target at 1-866-852-8680.
