State nets $222,000 from Target suit over data breach in 2013

Utah will receive $222,663 as part of an $18.5 million settlement that 47 states and the District of Columbia reached with Target Corp. over a 2013 data breach that exposed contact information for 60 million customers nationwide.

"Target's massive data breach revealed that consumers' information is constantly under attack by hackers seeking cyber profits," said state Department of Commerce Executive Director Francine Giani, who announced the settlement terms Tuesday along with Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes.

The settlement, she added, "should send a strong message that businesses need to remain vigilant in protecting their customers after the transaction has ended."

Deal terms require Target to hire someone to set up and maintain an information security program and to obtain an independent assessment of its success.

Several other technical changes also are required to prevent a repeat of the 2013 hack that occurred when Target's gateway server was accessed through credentials stolen fro a third-party vendor.
