Target also recently announced that it will be accelerating the move to Chip and PIN credit card technology. Magnetic stripe-based credit cards do not provide the same level of security and fraud protection as Chip and PIN-based credit cards, which are already widely deployed outside of the United States. Starting in 2015. Target's REDcard-branded credit and debit cards will include MasterCard's Chip and PIN technology. Under Steinhafe's leadership, Target has also taken other steps to improve its security, including resetting the passwords for 445,000 Target team members and tightening up system access overall.
