100.000.000 creditcard transactions monthly might be comprimised

But Baldwin said it wasn't until last week that investigators uncovered the source of the breach: A piece of malicious software planted on the company's payment processing network that recorded payment card data as it was being sent for processing to Heartland by thousands of the company's retail clients.

wonderful news

Jesus that's a lot of personal data!

i sale cheap credit card numbers!

:2 cents:

Wow, that's crazy.

Wow, that's nice!

So much for rebills... as the card companies cancel old cards and re-issue new ones all over again. Fuck shitty content... this type of fraud is costing us alot more than people realize!

this is what they all say when they sell the info.

:1orglaugh

bank sell info and then make all kinds of claims to "how the info was compromised"

sounds legit, until you find out where the numbers came from....

Local banks in California selling card numbers to porn site operators, aint that awesome??

the bank in the original post, even took the time to make a "website" regarding their "breach" LOL

banks cannot be trusted.

wow... I wonder what other banks are selling #'s

wow thats a serious breach

100 million. Wow.

that is monthly :Oh crap

I operate as if all my info is already breached anyway because that's the only
way to know what's going on.

Then they weren't following the requirements to be a payment processor. That data is supposed to be encrypted both at rest and in transit.

We'll see more high tech crimes like this in the future.

Good to hear that.
