摘要：We investigate the recent Target Corporation payment system breach, in which an initial estimation of 40 million customers' credit card data was stolen in nearly a three-week span over the 2013 holiday shopping season. We examine exactly what happened, and who was primarily responsible for the attack. Furthermore, we explore the number of those affected by the data breach, which grew substantially after its initial disclosure. we then consider the reaction from the consumers primarily affected by the breach. We contemplate opportunities that Target Corporation et al. have in preventing the outcome of future attacks.
