Small and medium-sized businesses may think they’re immune to the kinds of attacks that wreaked havoc on Target last year, but they’re susceptible to the same nefarious forces — sometimes even more so, as they can lead hackers to a bigger prize.
Since the Target breach, other retailers have been affected, including Neiman Marcus,eBay and P.F. Chang’s. But the Target breach was huge — information on 40 million credit and debit cards was stolen, along with records of 70 million customers, including name, address, email address and phone number.
