Just recently, hackers managed to steal the credit card info of over 40 million target customers and compromised cards are being marketed online with information on the state, city, and ZIP code of the Target store where they were used. Fraud experts say the location information will likely allow buyers of the stolen data to use spoofed versions of cards issued to people in their immediate vicinity.
