- Target Corp on Saturday said it was working on a problem that prevented customers in the United States from paying for their purchases."Our teams are troubleshooting now and we apologize for the inconvenience,"the retailer tweetedTarget did not give any reason for the outage and was not immediately reachable for further comment.

Customers took to Twitter to complain about the outage under the hashtag #targetdown with many users commending Target employees for handling the situation well. “The poor people @Target,” a Twitter user with the handle @writeriowa wrote. “... I walked in, they apologized profusely, and handed me coupons. It’s not the local employees’ fault, so please, be patient and kind. #targetdown.”A defect in a network device in June 2014 also caused problems with Target’s payment processing systems, according to media reports.

Attacks against infrastructure have been occurring for the last 2 weeks including Google and other key infrastructure and no one is reporting about these attacks.. Is it Russia ? is it China ? is it some other country ? maybe Iran ? How does keeping Americans in the dark help ?

I was about to go in and an employee told me what happened. Told him i can wait til Monday then went to liquor store bought a 6pk of 🍺

I suspect Walmart and GOP operatives.

Was this random? Or were they targeted 🎯?

Can you say “information breach?” How much do you want to bet that Target didn’t pay a ransom, and this is the result?

I Was there

Time to change to CHIP AND PIN. No barcodes. No signatures. Target still owes customers many hundreds of millions for the data breach several years ago. Still waiting for $100K pain/suffering per account breached checks.

Standing in line with a $20 bill in my pocket silently judging everyone without cash.😏 TargetDown

I was just there, it’s fine.

No kidding! I was there and it wasn't good, employees were offering water while you wait but no discounts. Boo

Target has become a part of my life... haven't realized it, yet....

Welp, it's a good thing I didn't go today

Target hit. well said. ;-).

Drones piloted by climate-change activists target HeathrowClimate-change protesters are planning “non-violent direct action” at Heathrow beginning June 18th They'll pass by desperate hungry homeless people on the way to that ridiculous ineffective protest. Priorities. Good ideas to stop airflights to save enviroment. All flights must get stopped in Europe, but this will help the climate only with 5 %. Only if you stop coal, flights, cars in the whole world it will help, but overpopulation will made all destroyed. Risking air traffic safety and interrpting people businesses and they still call it non-violent !!
