Target Research Paper

The Target Breach happened many years ago, but the ramifications of it are still very present. I want you to do a deep dive into it and learn how the breach actually happened – from initial compromise, to exfiltration of data, finally to the time the breach was officially announce.
I know what kind of information is out there, as I have done a full paper myself for work. However I do know that it will take some digging. I am giving you until April 17th to work on this paper. I highly recommend you don’t wait until closer to the due date to start. This paper will need the following information to be considering complete:
Initial Point of Compromise
How the initial compromise happened (attack method)
The Malware used in the attack
How the Malware works (What is its function)
How was data exfiltrated
Who was the source that notified Target of the breach
What was the fallout from the break (monetarily)
You will need at least 4 separate external sources, and the book does not count. Citations should be in APA Format.
Double spaced Arial, roughly 5 pages at least (2500 words).
It is a lot of work, but you have the tools to have a basic understanding of this attack. As always please feel free to reach out to me with questions.The Target Breach happened many years ago, but the ramifications of it are still very present.
