Data: Nearly All U.S. Home Depot Stores Hit
Summary: KrebsOnSecurity compared the 1,822 unique ZIP codes in more than 3,000 stolen cards for sale on the Rescator cybercrime shop against a commercial list of Home Depot store ZIP codes and found a 99.4 percent overlap. Home Depot has not confirmed a breach, saying only that it is investigating "unusual activity" with law enforcement, while banks that mapped cards back to the retailer say the data suggests the breach began in late April or early May.
What's compelling: The Target breach hit just shy of 1,800 stores over roughly three weeks and exposed about 40 million card numbers; this overlap spans nearly all of Home Depot's roughly 2,200 stores, and the cards posted so far are described as almost certainly a tiny fraction of what will be sold.
