> Target acknowledged the breach Dec. 19 after an IT security blogger reported that customer names, credit and debit card numbers, expiration dates and CVV codes were stolen from the company. In the days that followed, Target repeatedly said PINs weren’t compromised or affected.

Why do they need to keep PIN and CVV data beyond an individual transaction?
