Afghanistan: Neiman Marcus confirms data breach, some customers at risk --- Neiman Marcus confirmed Saturday that its customers are at risk after hackers breached the Dallas company’s servers and accessed the payment information of those who visited its stores. -- The news comes on the heels of a disclosure from Target that a similar data breach at its stores may ultimately affect up to 100 million customers, far more than originally feared. The Neiman breach was first reported Friday by cybersecurity reporter Brian Krebs, who said that there had been a spike in fraudulent credit and debit charges on cards that had been used at Neiman Marcus stores. -- “The security of our customers’ information is always a priority and we sincerely regret any inconvenience,” the company said in a statement. -- Neiman Marcus operates 79 retail locations and reported total sales of $1.1 billion in its most recent quarter, which ended Nov. 2 — ahead of the peak holiday shopping season.
