Assuming that Home Depot is correct and skimming is involved and also assume that the 56M cards is correct. That just seems to unlikely, even with malware pushed to the POS systems, that 56M cards could be stolen.

I mean there's "only" 350M people in the US. One in seven would have to have used a card at Home Depot (I know, people have multiple cards). Still seems unlikely to have 56M card skimmed in any reasonable timeframe.
