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.
