Hey all,
Just wanted to warn folks. If you used your debit or credit card at a Target store. You may have been compromised. Evidently someone hacked the cash registers at a Target store and now it has effected all of them. |

Target said they have fixed the breach but some say it may have been an internal job given their high security. It apparently started on Black Friday and either stopped a few days ago or is still going on.

WALMART is behind this.

It impacts those that shopped at a Physical Target location from November 27th through December 15th. If you purchased online during that time/paid your bill online, you have no issue.
If you shopped at a Target, just monitor the card associated with the purchase and make sure there aren't any fraudulent charges. |

Which is why I use good old fashion ca$h.
Come to think of it, I only use my debit card when I fill up at the gas station.

Jinx, gas stations are even worse when it comes to card security.

Never ever under any circumstances would I use my debit card for any transaction other than going to an ATM at an actual bank location. I would never risk exposing my bank account to fraud. Credit cards provide a buffer. I just pay it off each month.
And yes, gas pumps are the worst when it comes to skimmers that steal your card info when you swipe it. Also, cover the keypad as much as possible whenever you are entering your PIN at an ATM. Even if there is a skimmer on the ATM, they still need to get you PIN. Usually they do it via a hidden camera that is watching the keypad. However, sometimes they put a fake keypad over the real one. Not much you can do about that unless you notice the keypad is fake. At least with an ATM at an actual bank there's less risk since they are more heavily monitored with security cameras and actual bank security during the day. |

I'm just glad I have a credit union. They protected me when someone got my number from the iTunes breach, the GI Joe Club breach and now they are on the lookout for the Target breach. Turns out my wife used our card to buy a slinky and silly putty for our nephew's birthday.
