> Dear Target Guest,
> As you may have heard or read, Target learned in mid-December that
> criminals forced their way into our systems and took guest information,
> including debit and credit card data. Late last week, as part of our
> ongoing investigation, we learned that additional information,
> including name, mailing address, phone number or email address, was
> also taken. I am writing to make you aware that your name, mailing
> address, phone number or email address may have been taken during the
> intrusion.
> I am truly sorry this incident occurred and sincerely regret any
> inconvenience it may cause you. Because we value you as a guest and
> your trust is important to us, Target is offering one year of free
> credit monitoring to all Target guests who shopped in U.S. stores,
> through Experian’s® ProtectMyID® product which includes identity theft
> insurance where available. To receive your unique activation code for

> passwords, user IDs and financial account information. Here are some
> tips that will help protect you:

> text, even if they claim to be someone you know or do business with.
> Instead, ask for a call-back number.
