Target

The US retail behemoth Target has agreed to pay $18.5 million to resolve the 2013 data breach in a settlement with the US Attorneys General.

Target consumers' credit and debit card accounts totalling close to 40 million were compromised in 2013 during the customary holiday shopping season.

The corporation plans to reimburse its clients for the expenses they have incurred as well as for any harm they have suffered.

The business will give the full sum of money to each Attorney General participating in the investigations; the Illinois Attorney General will receive $1.2 million, and the Connecticut Attorney General, who is spearheading the lawsuit against the corporation, will receive about $1 million.
