NEW YORK — Potential victims of credit card fraud tied to Target’s security breach said they had trouble contacting the discounter through its website and call centers. Angry Target customers expressed their displeasure in comments on the company’s Facebook page. Some even threatened to stop shopping at the store. Target apologized on Facebook and said it’s working hard to resolve the problem and is adding more workers to field calls and help solve website issues. The fury and frustration come as the nation’s second- largest discounter acknowledged Thursday that data connected to about 40 million credit and debit card accounts was stolen as part of a breach that began over the Thanksgiving weekend. The theft is the second-largest credit card breach in U.S. history, exceeded only by a scam that began in 2005 involving retailer TJX Cos. That incident affected at least 45.7 million card users. TONY BRITT/Lake City Reporter Target disclosed the theft a day after reports that Becky Holloway (left) shows Jackie Abernathy a sampling of colorful Christmas sweaters for dogs. Holloway said the sweaters the company was investigating a breach.
