NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Why are we all getting hacked? It's simple economics.
Criminals want our data. Yes, even yours. It's more valuable than you think.
Celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton are a special case. Hackers target them for nude photos, because their private lives are prized treasure for creeps.
For the rest of us, it's all about our credit cards and identities. That's why hackers likely targeted the Home Depot's (HD) payments systems this year, along with Albertson's, Target, Michaels, Neiman Marcus, P.F. Chang's and SuperValu.
