Guam - According to Reuters, Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement chain, said about 53 million more email addresses were taken during a recent breach of its payment data systems.
Back in September the Guam Office of the Attorney General urged residents to closely monitor their financial activity reports after the company said some 56 million payment cards, including e-mail details, were likely stolen in a cyberattack. The breach could affect the credit and debit cards of millions of customers who used their cards at more than 2,000 of its US and Canadian stores. Home depot is offering free credit card monitoring to any customers who have been affected.
