IT Expert Greg Scott Speculates on What May Have Caused Target Systems to Go Down Nationwide on WCCO Radio

   Are you as amazed as "Bullseye Breach" author Greg Scott about the media reaction to Target's nationwide technology outage? On Sunday, June 16, it made the front page of the Pioneer Press and all over the country. When else has a cash register outage made national headlines?

   Greg Scott was on the Cory Hepola Show on WCCO Radio on June 17 and AM1280 on June 23.

   Scott's novel, written a few years ago, is the story of how Russian mobsters stole 40 million customer credit card numbers from fictional Bullseye Stores during the 2013 Christmas shopping season. It ties right in to this weekend's outage because we all depend on technology these days, and glitches are way more visible than before.
