Target stores hit by data breach affecting 40 million cards

Anybody have any idea if there is a way to tell if your card was part of the breach? I have a family member who shopped at target during the dates mentioned.

I'm wondering what percentage of transactions were affected. Is 40 million 90%? 50%? There's no way to tell. It'd be nice if we knew whether or not to report it to the bank.

So far it doesn't look like Target has released any way of checking, all they say is to watch your card for suspicious activity. Hopefully they can get something together in the next couple of days.

I called my credit union because I shop at Target a lot and they told me they were working to match up debit card numbers they issues against those there were breached. They would let me know if mine was part of the breach.
