Target systems down
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/201...465476001/

"Target registers appear to be down across the globe.

Shoppers are posting to social media about long waits at the checkout line and then leaving stores empty-handed Saturday afternoon.

"We are aware of a systems issue in store and are working as quickly as possible to get this fixed," Target tweeted from its @AskTarget account in response to shoppers' tweets. "Thank you for your patience!"

According to a shopper at the Columbia, Maryland store, employees were warning shoppers about the outage as they entered the store.

There have been many posts on Downdetector.com about stores experiencing problems...."


These are the people who worry about boys toys vs. girls toys and letting confused males into female bathrooms. Yet they can't set up sufficient redundancy to keep themselves in business. They can't check anybody out, apparently anywhere in the world, costing themselves millions. Their CEO, CIO and Chief Risk Manager should all be fired today.

The concerning part about this is whether this was an internal failure or if it was a hack. If an outsider did this, its very concerning for all business.

But this is very concerning if it turns out to be a hack.

I fit turns out to be a hack, they should be burned to the ground.

A few years back, they had a major CC breach. They had recently installed software to check for this happening, but ignored the softwares warning for months that they were being breached. It ended up being an incredibly large breach of CC information that should have been very minor.

That breach was a major driving factor in the very quick switch to chip cards.

Apparently their price file was down according to Target employees.

Reminds me of Battlestar Gallactica. All dependent on one system.

Target needs to open a San Jose IT office mucho pronto. It's hard to recruit to Minneapolis in the winter.
