Target issues details for signing up for free credit monitoring

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
A shopper exits the Target at 2950 S. Chase Ave. in Milwaukee.
"Target released details Monday on how customers can sign up for a year of free credit monitoring from Experian, including identity theft insurance, in light of Target's recent data breach that affected between 70 million and 110 million people.
"Target sent out emails to customers Monday from president Gregg Steinhafel and placed a full page ad in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and other major newspapers, apologizing again. The email directs them to a website where they can sign up until the end of April.
....
"All Target customers who shopped at U.S. stores can take advantage of the offer. The free credit monitoring starts once people enroll, Target said.

"Here's how to sign up:
■ To request an activation code, enter your name and email address on Target's website, creditmonitoring.target.com. The deadline to request the code is April 23. Credit reports are for a person, not a credit card number, so people who used multiple credit or debit cards at Target only need to sign up once."  Read more from Journal Sentinel:
