IntelCrawler concluded on Sunday that 23-year-old Rinat Shibaev - not 17-year-old Sergey Taraspov, as the company previously reported - is the writer of the malware that infected Target's point-of-sale systems.
Malware discovered on vendor servers may have led to the compromise of personal information, including payment cards, for anyone who shopped on the Easton-Bell Sports website in December 2013.

Target, as well as law enforcement officials and other witnesses, will testify in front of the Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade subcommittee in the first week of February to discuss data breaches and their effect on consumers.
The information - including payment card data - of more than 4,000 individuals was inappropriately accessed after malware was introduced into the computer systems of Ohio-based Edgepark Medical Supplies.
