Over the last month, cyberterrorists operating from offshore locations, launched a massive attack on US citizens. By hacking point of sale terminals in Target stores, the group was able to steal information from 40 million citizens across the US.
Given the unique nature of this attack, it didn't only steal credit card numbers. It was also successful in gathering the three digit verification codes as well as name and address information. The ability to link all three is a huge coup for the attackers, since it allows the construction of databases that will enable much more sophisticated attacks in the future.
