> One thing I haven't seen the popular media take Home Depot to task on is: Why didn't they review their security after the Target breach? ? It's right there in the article: "After the Target theft, Home Depot’s chief executive, Frank Blake, assembled a team to determine how to protect the company’s network from a similar attack, said one person briefed on the project. In January, Home Depot brought experts in from Voltage Security, a data security company in California, these people said. By April, the company started introducing in some of its stores enhanced encryption that scrambled payment information the moment a card was swiped. "But criminals were already deep in Home Depot’s systems. By the time the company learned on Sept. 2 from banks and law enforcement that it had been breached, hackers had been stealing millions of customers’ card information, unnoticed for months. The rollout of the company’s new encryption was not completed until last week."
