KMART ADDED TO LIST OF RETAILERS HIT BY DATA THEFTS – TIME FOR BITCOIN?

NEW YORK (InsideBitcoins) – As everyone was heading out with friends and family for weekend festivities last Friday, Sears Holdings announced that malware has been collecting payment information about Kmart customers from over 1,200 different cash registers across the country.
It appears that the breach of security began last month, and the credit card and debit card data related to certain customers may have been accessed by digital intruders. Kmart is now in the same boat as other major retailers, such as Target and Home Depot, who don’t seem to be able to secure their customers’ financial information.
