Maryland To Receive $605K From Target Data Breach Settlement

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Target has been ordered to pay out millions after a massive cyber breach, and Maryland is getting a piece of the pie.

$18.5 million is how much Target has agreed to pay 47 states and the District of Columbia after hackers penetrated the company’s system in 2013.

This is the largest multi-state data breach settlement.

Right in the thick of the holiday shopping season, Target was hit with a major data breach.

Now, three and a half years later, the big box store, one of the nation’s largest retailers, is having to pay up.

The states get the money and not the people whose personal information was stolen? What's with that?

This is how the government shakes down businesses. Once the states receive the money it is impossible to trace who gets it.
