Is this simply an internal problem at Target or is this a deliberate malware attack?
Who would do this intentionally? Iran? North Korea? China? Russia? Bitcoin blackmailers?
Did you have a problem at Target today?

i am a PC tech and some of the other forums have mentioned the outage...hard to believe as back-up should have back-up most big websites experience only blips lasting a few minutes at most (China?)
I heard that our Target manually entering the product codes. Took longer, but people got their items. Remember, Target got hacked about five years ago.

Yes most places are set up in case of certain outage for the cashier to be able to enter the codes manually.
I had used my Target card the day that that happened five years ago!!!!!
When Anthem Blue Cross was hacked, I was one of the customers they had hacked info on!
Same with when Equifax was hacked!!!! Just lucky I guess!!!!

Target acknowledged the problem and attributed it to internal technology not an outside attack.

Yes, I couldn't find anything I'm Target. Went with my mother this morning/afternoon and we both walked out empty handed...
I know from time to time systems like this go down and it isn't related to malware or a hack. Just the server crashes. As the saying goes, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...

I'm hoping the problem was just a system burp, not an attack.
