"Target: 40M card accounts may be breached"

"Target says that about 40 million credit and debit card accounts may have been affected by a data breach that occurred just as the holiday shopping season shifted into high gear."

"The chain said that customers who made purchases using their cards at its U.S. stores between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 may have been exposed."

"Target Corp. advised customers who suspect there has been unauthorized activity on their cards should call them at 866-852-8680."

"Target’s announcement came one day after a security blogger, Brian Krebs, first reported the breach."

"boyfriend jumped to his death after his girlfriend insisted on going into another clothes shop"

"A man jumped to his death after a furious row with his girlfriend who insisted they go into another clothes shop."

An eyewitness said: 'He told her she already had enough shoes, more shoes that she could wear in a lifetime and it was pointless buying any more.

'She started shouting at him accusing him of being a skinflint and of spoiling Christmas, it was a really heated argument.'

The shouting match ended when the man chucked the bags on the floor and jumped over the balcony, smashing into Christmas decorations on his way down before hitting the floor seven stories below causing shocked shoppers to flee in panic.
