Report: Home Depot not in full security compliance during breach

Atlanta – The Home Depot Inc. was reportedly not in full compliance with data security standards when a major data breach began in April 2014. According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, an investigator working for credit card companies said Home Depot was in compliance with data security standards in 2013, but was still working to obtain compliance certification when the 2014 attack occurred.



In a securities filing, Home Depot said it is probable that payment card networks will file lawsuits related to the breach, but it will defend against them.
