Umm because in this case the hacker may have gotten more than just a CC number. It would be nice if Home Depot would drop the smoke and mirror act and come out with full disclosure on what exactly was obtained from their system during the hack. A credit card number is one thing, but there is a good chance the hacker also obtained some SS numbers and birth dates in this case. If that's the case, it's a lot bigger deal.
