From online hacks to plastic fakes: The strange life of a stolen credit card --- Six days before Christmas, Shaw Lash's debit card was used at a Toys R Us in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. -- The problem? Lash wasn't at Toys R Us buying gifts. In fact, she had her card with her when Chase Bank sent her a text message warning that someone had just tried to make a suspicious purchase for $379 using her account numbers. -- "It was kind of sad," Lash, 33, a video producer from Manhattan, told NBC News, noting the holiday timing. She had, however, been shopping at a Target in Vauxhall, N.J., during the first week of December. That convinced her that she was one of the up to 40 million Target customers who had their credit or debit card information stolen between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 from retail stores throughout the United States. - More, Keith Wagstaff, NBC News - http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/online-hacks-plastic-fakes-strange-life-stolen-credit-card-2D11803344
