Home Depot Investigating "Massive" Data Breach

According to media outlets, Home Depot is investigating a massive data breach and looking into "unusual activity" relating to customers.

An independent cybersecurity journalist reported, a massive new batch of stolen credit and debit cards went for sale Tuesday on the black market and said hackers may have been in Home Depot's computer systems since May.  In comparison, Target's data breach last year was 3 weeks long.
