Summary

Hide ▲

A Target employee workstation was compromised by infostealer malware in late September 2025, raising the risk of internal credential exposure. The infected device reportedly had access to IAM, Confluence, wiki, and Jira, making the compromise operationally significant. The infection has not been confirmed as the source of the repositories later advertised for sale, so the broader connection remains unproven.
