Just like Target, Neiman Marcus, an American luxury specialty department store was confirmed that hackers invaded its system for several months which involve and may compromise 1.1 million credit and debit card. The same malware installed in Target terminals are found to be the same malware that infiltered Neiman Marcus terminal and exposed information of 110 million customers this was according to person who was interviewed but not the authorized person with authority to speak about the issue regarding the attack. 

According to the statement posted on Neiman Macus Website, the said malware was "clandestinely"  put into the system and had stolen payment data off cards from July 16 to October 30, 2013. 2,400 card used at Neiman Marcus and its  Last Call outlet store have been used fraudulently. Bergdorf Goodman which also owns Neiman Marcus was not aware of the data theft until mid of December when a said payment processor reported that the unauthorized charges are showing up on cards that was used at the store. 

Good thing, Neiman Marcus also offered one year of free credit monitoring for affected shoppers for additional security. The company also have coordinated with the banks to help resolve the issue and lower the chances of theft. Banks and other Credit card companies has started sending new cards to their mutual customers who was affected by the date breach.
