And so what happened is they actually figured out a hacker that they had access to all these businesses.

They liked the Target one.

They used their network to get into the Target network.

And it was what they call a flat network.

In other words, once you're on their network, you can kind of get to everything.

Wow.

And they had a bunch of point of sale servers that were living in their data center at Target, the HQ.

And this threat actor put a little piece of code, a little applet as we call it, that basically allows you to just siphon data, stream data to another place, another point.

It put this good, it set their, the breach happened in April.

They set their April, May, June, July, August, September.

And it was in a, it was a November, late October, early November.

They started siphoning, you know, the Christmas season for retail and they started siphoning off all the credit cards to some, you know, data centers in another country.

I think it was in the Ukraine actually.

So they siphoned all of the data off.

Holy crap.

And that was one of the biggest credit card breaches that had ever happened.

Millions of customers.

And so that's the kind of stuff that, you know, these threat actors, they're sneaky and they'll sit there, they're patient.

They don't need to, you know, get an immediate reward like you might think they would.

They're pretty smart about what they do.
