U.S. retailer Target recently experienced a data breach that affected purchases made by its customers.  In addition to debit and credit card information stolen, Target has also reported that personal information – including names, phone numbers, email and mailing addresses – was also taken during the data breach. Target is offering free credit monitoring and identity theft protection to all of its customers, with an opportunity to enroll over the next three months.

Other retailers, like Neiman Marcus, also confirmed a data breach  that extended throughout at least part of December 2013, which also resulted in the theft of an unknown quantity of credit and debit card data.
