Oh, it was more than that! I don't shop at Target or any of the other stores listed, or didn't during the time my card info got stolen. Now I can understand it can do damage to the retailer when it is revealed they were hacked, I get that. But when I was trying to deal with the whole damn mess (still not sure it is all fixed) I asked if they found out where my info was stolen if they would let me know. Nope, credit cards have an agreement with retailers to keep that information confidential. REALLY!!!???!!?!? Wow, ok, guess I know where I stand. Honestly, after being told that little tidbit, I wonder how many stores machines
haven't been hacked.
