Hackers used custom-built malware to evade detection that Home Depot’s security partners have not seen in previous breaches. The malware is believed to have been present between April and September. The company has rolled out enhanced encryption of payment data to all US stores. There is no evidence that customers’ PINs were compromised in the attack, according to the company. The hackers’ method of entry has been closed off, and the company says it will not be liable for fraudulent charges. The attack is likely to cost Home Depot a lot of money, experts say.”]
