Heartland Payment Systems
Welcome back!
Potential Largest Breach In History
Heartland announced this week that the company breached possibly over 600 Million credit card transactions, since May, 2008, as reported in the Ny Times. Seems hacker’s secretly installed a software program that captured the personal credit card numbers, of customers swiping their credit cards at merchant locations who process credit cards with Heartland.
Information seems limited and it’s not clear, as to the extent of damages.
Heartland Payment Systems, Princeton, N.J., works with about 175,000 small merchant accounts and processes about 100 million credit card processing transactions a month.
