Home Depot Credit Card Breach

The possible breach at Home Depot came to light when Krebs Security, a website that focuses on cyber security, reported that “multiple banks are reporting evidence that Home Depot stores may be the source of a massive new breach of stolen credit and debit cards.” These cards went on sale Tuesday on the black market. It is believed that these stolen card numbers could have come from the folk's shopping at Home Depot.
The preliminary analysis by Krebs suggests that all of Home Depots 2,200 U.S. stores are affected. If this is the case, this breach could be larger than Targets, which had 40 million credit and debit card numbers stolen over a three-week period of time last year.
