A traffic stop in just north of Houston may be a major break in a massive Home Depot data breach.
According
to Patton Village police, on Saturday, officers pulled over a vehicle
near Highway 59 and State Highway 242 that they say was traveling 10
miles per hour over the speed limit.
Two men inside the vehicle
were from Michigan. During the traffic stop, officers noticed some
information from the pair wasn't adding up.
They say the men were
in possession of what they believed to be criminal instruments that,
after a preliminary investigation, were determined to be related to the
Home Depot data breach that got national attention a couple months ago.
Both men were arrested and charged with possession of criminal devices. They're currently in the Montgomery County Jail.

Home Depot Overview
The possible data breach at
Home Depot was first reported by Brian Krebs of Krebs on Security, a
website that focuses on cybersecurity. Krebs said multiple banks
reported "evidence that Home Depot stores may be the source of a massive
new batch of stolen credit and debit cards" that went on sale on the
black market earlier Tuesday.
Krebs reported that it's not clear how many stores were affected but preliminary analysis indicates the breach may have affected all 2,200 Home Depot stores in the U.S. Several banks that were contacted said they believe the breach may have started in late April or early May.
"If that is accurate -- and if even a majority of Home Depot stores were compromised -- this breach could be many times larger than Target, which had 40 million credit and debit cards stolen over a three-week period," said the Krebs post.
Krebs said that the party responsible for the breach may be the same group of Russian and Ukrainian hackers suspected in the Target breach late last year. Krebs also broke the news of Target's breach.
