I was going from a court ruling but David Stokes noted a whitepaper that
confirms my suspicions in the court ruling.
Target does not have z/OS nor dynalloc (by name). However Unix is by design
dynalloc all the time.

Can you point to reports that talk about how the Target breach occurred? I have
not seen any descriptions of it publicly that could allow one to draw the
conclusions you've made.
(I'm assuming, by the way, that you don't literally mean that z/OS, and
dynalloc, were involved. If you do mean that, the reports should also
specifically describe the system that was breached, the OS, etc.)
