Target

In 2013, Target became the victim of a significant cyber attack that compromised the payment cards of 41 million customers and the contact information of an additional 70 million customers. This breach, which resulted from a spear-phishing attack on a third-party vendor, enabled attackers to install malware that captured customer data over two months. The financial impact of the breach was monumental, costing Target approximately $290 million after including fines, remediation, consulting fees, and other related expenses. This incident led to the departure of Target's CEO and highlighted the catastrophic potential of cybersecurity threats. The settlement of country-wide claims alone amounted to $18.5 million, underscoring the extensive legal and financial ramifications of such breaches.
