Target Increases Number of People Hit in Data Breach To 70 Million

“The data breach that hit Target Corp. over the holidays was bigger than the company had previously said, affecting more systems and compromising a new set of personal information for 70 million people.  Target said Friday that the new set of stolen information included some mix of names, mailing addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. The information was stored separately from the 40 million credit and debit card accounts that the discount chain had previously said were affected, indicating that a different system had been hacked.  The new disclosure came just as Target said it was starting to see a recovery from the damage done to sales by the original news of the breach.”
