Bummer, I guess I have to put some time into this. Even though I don't have the store near me, I managed to use 2 different CC's via internet and DH used his debit card in a store. sigh. . Dear Valued Customer, As you may have heard, on September 8, 2014, we confirmed that our payment data systems have been breached, which could potentially impact customers using payment cards at our U.S. and Canadian stores. On September 18, 2014, we confirmed that the malware used in the breach has been eliminated from our U.S. and Canadian stores and that we have completed a major payment security project that provides enhanced encryption of payment data at point of sale throughout our U.S. stores, offering significant new protection for customers. There is no evidence that debit PIN numbers were compromised or that checks were impacted. Additionally, there is no evidence that the breach has impacted stores in Mexico or customers who shopped online at HomeDepot.com. We are offering customers who used a payment card at a Home Depot store in 2014, from April on, 12 months of free identity protection services, including credit monitoring, beginning on September 19, 2014. We apologize for the frustration and anxiety this may cause you and we thank you for your patience during this time.

Yep... a lot of stuff we bought for our redo this summer came from HD. Called the CC folks. They just said watch our next bills, which we do anyway... any charges that aren't ours, we're not on the hook for. Had a CC prob more than 10 years ago... charges made that weren't ours. No sweat but did have to get a new card... that wasn't so good. Hope we won't have to get a new card this time, but...
Phew! for whatever reason I used paypal. Only DH debit card to deal with. BTW we do not have an suspicious charges, just being proactive.
Guess I don't need to do what I procrastinated on. Bank sent us new debit cards....Albertsons, local grocery store around the rockies had a data breach.
I got an email a couple weeks back from my credit card company (USAA) saying that they were sending new cards. They showed up Tuesday. Must be they figured it was serious enough to warrant issuing new cards. That's fine by me.
My wife got us a new debit card (always use as credit), and the HD card and Discover card said to watch the bill and call if any bad charges appear. Not that big of a deal, just a PIA
