Visa, It’s EveryWhere, Even If You’re Not

January 21st, 2009

Oh great. How long will it take to notify all the card holders involved in this one?

A New Jersey credit-card processor disclosed a data breach that analysts said may rank among the biggest ever reported.

Heartland Payment Systems Inc. said Tuesday that cyber criminals compromised its computer network, gaining access to customer information associated with the 100 million card transactions it handles each month.

The company said it couldn’t estimate how many customer records may have been improperly accessed, but said the data compromised include the information on a card’s magnetic strip — card number, expiration date and some internal bank codes — that could be used to duplicate a card.

The last time they discovered a breach somewhere I got three different debit cards in 2 months.
