"Unfortunately, this article is paywalled, but, according to the Wall Street Journal, 'Target security staff raised concerns about vulnerabilities in the retailer's payment card system at least two months before hackers stole 40 million credit and debit card numbers from its servers,' people familiar with the matter said.
