Comment on Hospitals Are Mining Patients' Credit Card Data to Predict Who Will Get Sickparent

Comments

Target in all likelihood had been "trying" datamining previously, and since.

Though they might try hanging on to their customer's credit-card details a bit more successfully.

Seriously, can you get more vicious thinking inside the company, when the policy is to spend money on r&d on how to mine users data better, but at the same time not to worry enough about their cc security?

dont be evil, anyone?

Misaligned incentives, risk models, and much else. I'm fuzzy on details but understand Target was warned of security deficiencies.
