That’s just the most recent article I could find, you can go back over reporting on the same for at least a decade.
Fair enough. I'm sure they likely are doing this, why wouldn't they if no one's stopped them. Even while being technically illegal in the US as another user stated, FBI or retired police involvement wouldn't be surprising in the slightest, unfortunately.
I highly doubt it’s illegal for a private entity to withhold reporting a crime until they have enough evidence to be actioned on. They made a claim without providing any sort of source backing it up, and the fact that many companies do it points to it being legal, at least in most places they operate.
That's a very good point. I don't know why I latched on to Target's side of things being true/untrue but looked over the legal aspect completely. Strong anti-corporation bias, I imagine...
Thanks for pointing that out. On second look, I can't seem to find anything to back up the initial claim of their actions being illegal.
