More Than 1,000 Businesses Affected By Same Attack That Hit Target

It's nice to know that almost all of the 1,000 business affected by this still haven't notified their customers. You'd think there would be some kind of law that required businesses to notify customers of data breaches. More than 1,000 American businesses have been affected by the cyberattack that hit the in-store cash register systems at Target, Supervalu and most recently UPS Stores. The attacks are much more pervasive than previously reported, and hackers are pilfering the data of millions of payment cards from American consumers without companies knowing about it, according to a new Department of Homeland Security advisory released Friday afternoon.
