yep, this has NOTHING to do with the target case and this is just everyday routine identity theft credit card theft.
they just want to make some sort of claim that they are DOING SOMETHING about the target case when in truth they cant do anything about it but don't want the public to know that.
in truth this is just as likely stolen sign up info from Obama care website which all security experts say is less secure then a childs piggy bank.

you would be wrong to assume that, I have 3 relatives who shop at target and every one of them had to argue with the credit card companies who did NOT want to reissue a new card number to them. they kept trying to say they would only issue new numbers to those whose accounts showed signs of illegal activity. the basic truth is they don't want to do the right thing and replace them to protect against theft because its cheaper to do nothing and only react to the thefts after they occur. rather silly from the customers point of view but it makes good business sense on their side.
one of my relatives got her new card by insisting but the other two just got tired of begging for help and decided to report the card as lost or stolen to get new numbered cards.
