Home Depot confirms worker data leak after miscreant dumps info online

Home Depot disclosed that a third-party SaaS vendor inadvertently made a sample of employee names, work email addresses, and user IDs public during testing; an individual using the moniker “IntelBroker” allegedly copied and posted the data on BreachForums, claiming a dataset of roughly 10,000 employees. The company says customer and financial information do not appear to be affected, but the exposed employee details could facilitate credential theft and escalation, and the named actor has a history of similar data leaks.
