So, today Target announced that they had a security breech and someone got access to basically all credit and debit card info for purchased made in stores over the past month. About 2 weeks ago, I had some fraudulent charges (for an escort service in London) made to my debit card. I'm always very careful about where I use my debit card and looking back over recent charges, I could not figure out where anyone could have gotten my info. I had only used it at big, brand name stores recently and my card never left my hand. Any online shopping was done through Amazon, but on a different card anyway, since I try not to use debit for online purchases. Luckily, bank caught it early and called me, and my card got shut down immediately. I finally gave up trying to figure out how anyone got my info... until today. The last place I shopped at prior to the fraudulent charges was Target... and I had been there a couple times during the questionable time period. So, I suspect that Target is now the most likely culprit. We are so trusting of these big chain stores to protect our information, but maybe we shouldn't be. Just had to rant about it.
