Target has confirmed that as many as 40 million credit and debit card accounts may be at risk of a data breech.
Customers who made purchases by swiping their cards at stores across the U.S. between November 27 and December 15 may have had their accounts exposed. The stolen data includes credit and debit card numbers, customer names, card expiration dates and the three-digit security numbers on the back of cards required to finalize many purchases. Target says the data breech did not include online purchases.
