"Home Depot has agreed to a $17.5 million settlement in a multi-state investigation of a data breach suffered by the company in 2014.<p>"Delaware Attorney-General Kathy Jennings announced the settlement on Tuesday, in which a total of 46 states, as well as the District of Columbia, have reached a resolution with the US retailer."<p>Six years on and i wonder if Home Depot actually takes data protection seriously? Hopefully this will act as a warning to other orgs with a cavalier attitude to security.
