Target Data Breach Was the Result of BLACKPOS, an "off the shelf" malware created by a 17-year old

The massive data breach at Target during late last year used an inexpensive "off the shelf" malware known as BlackPOS. The same malware may have also been involved in the Neiman Marcus attack.

 IntelCrawler, a Los-Angeles based cyber intelligence company, announced that the age of BlackPOS malware author is close to 17 years old and the first sample of it was created in March 2013
