A day after the Department of Homeland Security advised Internet users and corporations about a newly discovered software bug that could affect hundreds of millions of systems, hackers had already begun exploiting the bug and companies were rushing to fix the issue for their users.

A programming flaw dubbed the “Bash Bug,” or more ominously “Shellshock,” is being described as potential threat to millions of computers, servers, medical devices, power plants and municipal water systems and even common objects such as refrigerators and cameras.

Here are some common questions and answers about the latest security scare.

Federal law protects consumers from the cost of fraudulent charges incurred when thieves steal credit-card and debit-card numbers.

And it’s bad for merchants, who often take losses on sales made to crooks with stolen cards

A code analysis reveals the malware were not from the same family and were probably written by different people

With this year's dramatic uptick in data breaches targeting retailers and restaurant chains and, more specifically, the payment card data they process every day, it's safe to say that, for the moment, cyber crooks feel like they have found the goose that lays golden eggs.

The security of Americans’ financial transactions is in stark focus in Washington this week against a backdrop of a breach-filled summer — including the massive Home Depot POS hack confirmed this week.

As Home Depot scrambles to determine the scope and scale of a potentially massive breach of its customers' data, the retailer's troubles underscore the challenges facing retailers and card issuers attempting to gird themselves against cybercriminals.

A credit card hack allegedly uncovered at Home Depot reportedly used a variant of the same malware that affected Target customers last year, says security researcher Brian Krebs.

Home Depot has yet to confirm the nature of the "unusual activity" it detected in its payment systems last week, but evidence of malware has been found on "at least some" registers in Home Depot retail stores, sources close to the investigation told independent security reporter Brian Krebs.

An alleged payment cards breach against the American DIY chain Home Depot involved the same malware as that used against the retailer Target, according to sources who spoke to security blogger Brian Krebs.

On Monday, Home Depot issued a public confirmation to reports that they've experienced a data breach impacting debit and credit cards.

New reports suggest that the same malware that struck Target's point-of-sale systems over the holidays was also used to target card data on Home Depot's systems.

Home Depot confirms there was indeed a breach. Presence of BlackPOS hints that the perpetrators could be the same ones who breached Target.

Home Depot admitted today that hackers really did breach the company's payment systems in US and Canadian stores and may have been breaking in since April, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The apparent credit and debit card breach uncovered last week at Home Depot was aided in part by a new variant of the malicious software program that stole card account data from cash registers at Target last December, according to sources close to the investigation.
