Card processors might have a case, but the customers really mostly wouldn't.
The PAN that belongs to your credit card company that was assigned to you by your credit card company was compromised and someone tried to defraud your credit card company using it. Yet it's you complaining, why?
Not sure about that either, but trying to blame Home Depot for fundamental flaws of the system isn't productive either. You should blame the card design for allowing this, not the people that accept cards.
While the card design could be better, those that accept them have a responsibility. The bigger you are and the more cavalier with card data, the more likely you will get targeted. I have yet to see one of these data breaches where the victim (if we call it that) company was doing a very good OpSec job.
You both have a point, but lean towards more punishment. This isn't something that should just be 'charged' away.
