There's an attack on credit cards because Target had a breach!

See, I can say ridiculous things too. Someone using bitcoins didn't follow protocol and as such as scammed out of money. This isn't a bitcoins-protocol issue, this is a people issue.

Note that the other exchanges are up now, very quickly after everyone stopped to check themselves.

The Target hack certainly disrupted the credit card system, by causing a lot of reissued cards.
That doesn't really disrupt the system though. It's not causing issues for anyone who hasn't had their card canceled and reïssued.
