Credit card hackers hit Neiman Marcus Neiman Marcus says that it's the latest victim of data thieves, who made off with the credit card information of an unknown number of customers. Upscale department
store Neiman Marcus confirmed that its database of customer information was
hacked last month, reported on Friday. The Neiman Marcus hack follows news today
from Target that its investigation into its recent hack found that thieves made
off with the personal and credit card data of up to 110 million Target
customers, 70 million more than previously thought. The Neiman Marcus breach
occurred around mid-December, the same time as the Target attack. Another
similarity to the Target attack is that online Neiman Marcus shoppers do not
appear to be affected so far, only retail shoppers. So far, these appear to be
coincidences. Ginger Reeder, a spokesperson for Dallas-based Neiman Marcus, told
Krebs that details on the hack are sparse. The cause, size, and duration of the
attack are currently unknown, pending the completion of a third-party forensics
investigation. The company is also working with the Secret Service, as is
customary in these attacks. Follow our ongoing coverage all week in the D&D Daily as this story develops.
