After ousting the head of its Canadian operations, the temporary leader of Target Corp. says he hopes customers will give the U.S. retailer another chance.
As the largest data breach in history unfolded, most executives were both disappointed that it occurred to a great American brand like Target, and relieved that it missed them—for now.
The massive breach and its resulting fallout is a stark reminder to senior executives and boards of U.S. companies that they will remain vulnerable 24x7x365 until they strategically retool their security to effectively fight in today’s full-scale economic war. What we did yesterday in security is no longer relevant.
As shoppers rev up for Black Friday deals, some groups plan Buy Nothing Day events. On Change.org, more than 18,000 people have signed a petition calling for retail employees to have time with their families rather than on the sales floor.
