Target, arguing it’s not liable, files for dismissal of data breach suit

Target is asking a federal judge in St. Paul to dismiss a multi-billion-dollar complaint filed by groups of banks stemming from last year’s massive data breach. The banks claim Target was negligent in its handling of shoppers’ credit and debit card information, which allowed hackers to steal sensitive information on some 100 million U.S. consumers.
