The revelation that Home Depot's breach resulted from the compromise of a third-party vendor is "eerily" similar to the circumstances of the Target data breach, security experts say. The two mega-breaches point to the need for retailers to more closely monitor the security measures of their vendors and ramp up breach detection efforts.

Targeted attacks could soar next year as increasing numbers of cyber-criminals in different geographies get their hands on the tools and techniques necessary to do the job, according to Trend Micro.
