Staples Confirms Breach; Home Depot Reports Breach Costs
Found on eWEEK on Thursday, 20 November 2014
Staples can now officially be added to the growing list of retailers that have publicly admitted this year that their systems were attacked and customer data was breached.
On Nov. 18, Home Depot reported its third-quarter fiscal 2014 earnings, which included its breach-related costs. The pretax net expenses related to the data breach were reported at $28 million.
If there will really be an "Internet of things" anytime soon, breaches will get more and more common because everything will be exploitable.
