Default Four data breaches....

... could there more?

According to the news, some security experts suspect some retailers might not know yet that they have been compromised.

More discoveries may be made now that information is being shared with companies through security experts on how to identify it.

In a subsequent interview with CNBC, Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel confirmed that the compromise followed a breach of its POS systems. Though the company is still trying to figure out what exactly happened, it has been able to determine that malware was installed in its POS systems, he said.

At least three other retailers are believed to have been hit by the same malware, including Neiman Marcus. The names of the other two remain unknown.
