\t\t\t\tThe lawsuit alleges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\nTarget failed to implement and maintain the necessary safeguards because doing so <\/span>cut into profits. Indeed, Target's IT department, called Target Technology Services, chooses cost-<\/span><\/span><\/span>effective but not actually effective technology to deploy across Target's stores. As explained by <\/span> Target's Director of Infrastructure Engineering, Brad Thompson ("Thompson"), in a study <\/span>analyzing Target's systems, the Target's IT systems are "a cost center, and so [it is] always looking to <\/span>drive down costs where possible." In the same case study, Target's Senior Group Manager of Server <\/span> Technology and Enterprise Storage, Fritz DeBrine, said that "[t]o keep our management costs down, <\/span>it's in our best interests to have a streamlined IT infrastructure at each store."<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
…<\/span>That fact was confirmed by John Deters, a Target engineering consultant who testified on behalf of Target in litigation alleging that Target violated provisions of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act [FACTA] by improperly printing credit and debit account informationincluding the full account number and card expiration date on credit and debit transaction receipts. As Deters testified, "Target retain[s] the full account number" and "then store[s] that information regarding the transaction, including the account numbers… of the credit card or debit card and the expiration date and the cardholder's name, in its computer system."<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n
