Home Depot hackers also stole millions of email addresses

By Lorie Wimble1 min readGoogle News

The hackers that got into Home Depot’s computers didn’t only steal 56 million credit card details, the company has recently discovered that they also got away with 53 million email addresses. According to the retailer, no passwords were stolen along with the email ads, but it still wants to warn customers, in case they receive some phishing emails in their inbox. So, if you have Home Depot-loving family or friends who aren’t as tech-savvy, make sure remind them not to click on dubious links sent to their emails and to activate two-factor authentication when available.
