Jack Mckay Target Malware

Recently, there has been news about a Russian resident writing malware for target which can compromise credit card numbers and hack other personal information of up to 10 million shoppers. But security has confirmed a different culprit. Secuirty firm IntelCrawler says that the breach was the result of malware that infected Target's payment system and possibly compromised the systems of other retailers. Neiman Marcus reported a similar security breach this month as well. There is evidence pointing towards another person from Ukraine responsible for an earlier code hacking.

  1. It just goes to show that security is never really guaranteed no matter where you shop at all. There should be tighter security systems but that's easier said than done.
