Target data breach may affect future profits
Target continues to cope with the fallout of a data breach, which, as expected, hurt the company’s fourth-quarter results.
The company incurred $61 million in expenses related to the breach during the quarter, but was able to bring the total impact to $17 million after applying a $44 million insurance payment.
But the retailer added that it is not only unable to estimate future expenses related to the data breach but also warned that those costs may adversely affect operations results in the first quarter and full-year 2014 and future periods.
