Target employees confirm leaked source code is authentic

BleepingComputer reports that threat actors published samples and are advertising the sale of what appears to be Target's internal source code and documentation; multiple employees verified matching internal system names, project identifiers, and technology stack references. Target moved to restrict public access to its on-prem Git server, and security researchers identified a potentially infostealer-infected employee workstation with broad internal access; the actor claims an ~860GB dataset but the root cause and full scope remain unconfirmed.
