At least 21 federal lawsuits have now been filed against Home Depot following its recent data breach.

At least one motion has already been filed in federal court in Atlanta to combine various lawsuits over the data breach. Home Depot has not yet responded to any of the lawsuits. The company has asked the federal court in Atlanta to give it until December 15th to answer the allegations of at least some of the lawsuits.
