If so, change your PIN Right the Fuck Now.
Target's been hacked. Any debit card used there in the last six months is vulnerable.
Credit cards are at risk, too, but you can contest fraudulent charges. If someone uses your debit card to hack into your account and loots it, you're pretty much fucked.

I never had a debit card and never understood the need to have one.
Don't have cash in your wallet? Use a credit card, which allows you to contest charges if someone swipes your identity, or your pin number. (I once had somebody book a cruise with my credit card number. The credit card company slammed on the brakes and credited the money back to me. I hope the s.o.b. who used my number is still swimming, surrounded by sharks, out there in the Caribbean.)
Use a debit card? A debit card is like cash. Except it's not just the kind of cash you have in your wallet. It's every last dollar, dime and penny you have in your bank account.
Cancel your debit card and use cash or a credit card instead.

Yeah, my "debit" card is my ATM card. So I *never* use it at register swipes, except I *did* on December 13th ( a friday ) at .... Target.
Arrrrgh. I've blocked the card and will get a new one issued.
Good thing I watch the news. Neither Target nor my bank contacted me about the issue.
