Abstract: Abstract Hackers are ingeniously nefarious and scheming. TargetTarget was hacked in December 2013. The hackers actually didn’t try to directly access the main customer database that was securely hidden and protected by IDS. Instead, the hackers accessed Target’s information portal through the digital HVAC (heating, ventilation, and AC) system that was managed by some third-party contractor with much less protection. The HVAC system could be remotely controlled and was linked to the main Target customer information database.
