Home Depot: 56 Million Credit Card Comprised

Home Depot


The worlds largest in door lumber yard " Home Depot" has admitted that 56$ million Debit and credit card numbers were comprised over half a year. This is one of the worlds largest customer breaches recorded in history. The criminals that made this attack use a new never seen custom malware which was nearly undetectable, that is why this attack stayed on for so long. The breach was announced September, 2, 2014 by Home Depots security s system which showed that over 2,200 where effected by this attack. 


This sucks for whoever had been at Home Depot when these attacks happens.  Over 56 million dollars stolen is allot of money. Home Depot must get better security that can defend and detect these attacks or they will lose allot of customers and money.
