Target says PIN numbers not accessed, but cards were

Jayne O'Donnell, USA TODAY 2:01 p.m. EST December 19, 201

Target warned consumers Thursday to monitor their statements for unauthorized use following a massive data breach involving 40 million credit and debit cards used in its stores between Black Friday and Dec. 15.

The information obtained included customer name, credit or debit card number, and the card's expiration date and the three-digit security code, known as the CVV, on the back of cards, the retailer said.

Target spokesman Eric Hausman confirmed it has "no indication that debit card PINs were impacted."
