It is being reported now through a security firm that two individuals have been identified for being responsible for the Target POS attack. One of them is a 17 year old from Russia that created the malware known as Kaptoxa or BlackPOS. The other person provided technology support. The malware captured unencrypted details from the payment cards after they were swiped at a point of sale terminal and it has been said that it stole about 11 gigabytes of data. The security firm also reported that at least six other retailers may also have been hacked.
