If The Home Depot’s management were as strict with information security as they are with store policies I’m confident they could’ve avoided their data breach.
Have you heard their policy monger guy on their intercom system while shopping?? He sounds like that guy we’ve seen in those disturbing Allstate commercials. A bit creepy. It’s also quite uninviting – certainly doesn’t make you feel welcome in their stores.
At least they’ve covered their bases if some kid crashes into a moving forklift while scooting about on his shoes with wheels…
Here are some more thoughts I have on the HD breach in case you’re interested.
