A couple of shoppers leave a Target store on a rainy afternoon in Alhambra, California in this December19, 2013, file photo. Target said on January 10, 2014 that up to 110 million customers have had their personal data stolen in a data breach, sharply raising its initial estimate. The number of people affected -- representing one in three Americans -- and the scope of the information stolen was larger than previously thought, the company said. Target initially reported on December 19 its payment card data had been breached during the year-end holiday shopping season, affecting about 40 million customers. The stolen information included credit and debit card data, customer names and PIN (personal identification data) numbers. On Friday, Target said that an ongoing investigation had revealed that hackers stole a second batch of data that included names, mailing addresses, phone numbers or email addresses for up to 70 million people.
