Target Got Me

[Aethian]

Found out that Mom was caught on the card she used to pay on her target card with. Seems her card is having a great time over in Spain and in helping build a site called strawberry.net.

Ouch, I'm hoping the credit card company was quick off the mark to reverse the fraudulent transactions... x_x

Nope. All the money from her retirement and Soc Sec checks are gone. I'm going to give her some tomorrow to ride her over. But the school she goes to are insisting she has to show it wasn't her. So...I told her to go in Monday with a police report and do the mom look and voice if they keep giving her a hard time.

Bump because criminal negligence much?

Yeah, Target's got some 'splainin to do, that's for sure.

And some lawsuit-settling to do.

Target also uses data security products from the company I work for. I kept waiting for a shitstorm when I first heard of the breach. I followed the story closely because of it. A whole lotta things went wrong over there. Fortunately, it seems, none of it was us.
