While the Justice Department investigates a data breach that potentially affected 40 million Target customers in more than its 1,700 stores in the U.S., investors in the second-largest retail company are holding tight. The data hack is the second largest incident of its kind in U.S. history; T.J. Maxx’s 2007 breech affected 47.5 customers. Target’s shares, however, have fallen just 3 percent since the data theft was revealed, Reuters reports.
