Home Depot has confirmed a breach that potentially impacts customers in the U.S. and Canada. Payment card purchases dating back to April may be at risk, meaning payment cards may have been vulnerable for a period of about five months. Compare that with Target, where 40 million payment cards were exposed between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, approximately three weeks. It’s possible the Home Depot breach could be bigger in scope than the Target breach, which occurred three weeks earlier than that of last year.”]
