The incident of the Target POS system attack back in 2013 is a perfect example of POS hacking and cyber breaches that led to millions of payment card details being stolen and sold on the black market and deep web. These PI payment details related to both debit and credit cards and were sold for anywhere from between $5-$8. Even if half of the that was stolen and sold for the average price between high and low that could equate to $12,500,000. Thats a significant amount of revenue for breaching a third party vendors access to Targets networks. The Federal Trade Commission notes in a CNN article, “it appears that Target may have failed to employ reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect personal information.”
