"Home Depot Hammered by Supply Chain Data Breach"

A hacking forum leak recently has led Home Depot to confirm that its employee data was compromised via a third-party software vendor.  Home Depot did not identify the breached software-as-a-service (SaaS) vendor but noted that an error exposed the names, corporate IDs, and email addresses of a "small sample" of its employees.  According to researchers, this type of data could be used to fuel targeted phishing cyberattacks.  Tamir Passi, director of products with DoControl stated that this incident highlights how selecting SaaS vendors with strong cybersecurity protections is critical for enterprises.  Investigation into the incident is currently ongoing.
