Ten Years Later, New Clues in the Target Breach
Summary: KrebsOnSecurity reports that ten years after breaking the December 2013 Target breach story, it has uncovered new clues tying the card-shop operator Rescator to a ChronoPay employee. The malware used in the Target breach contained the string "Rescator," and by the first week of December 2013 Rescator's store was selling more than six million payment card records stolen from Target customers.
What's compelling: The same Rescator shop later sold cards from the 2014 Home Depot breach that exposed 56 million payment cards, and the trail now runs through leaked ChronoPay emails to an email address assigned to the company's Media/Mp3 division head.
