  15. Why Protection:Theft of 100 Million Credit card records. • The Washington Post is reporting this afternoon that a security breach at the payment processor Heartland Payment Systems of Princeton, New Jersey late last year may have resulted in the theft of 100 million credit and debit card accounts. • According to Heartland's website, "Heartland Payment Systems, Inc., a NYSE company trading under the symbol HPY, delivers credit/debit/prepaid card processing, payroll, check management and payments solutions to more than 250,000 business locations nationwide." • In a company press release today, Heartland's president and chief financial officer Robert H.B. Baldwin, Jr., said, "We found evidence of an intrusion last week and immediately notified federal law enforcement officials as well as the card brands. We understand that this incident may be the result of a widespread global cyber fraud operation, and we are cooperating closely with the United States Secret Service and Department of Justice." • "No merchant data or cardholder Social Security numbers, unencrypted personal identification numbers (PIN), addresses or telephone numbers were involved in the breach. Nor were any of Heartland's check management systems; Canadian, payroll, campus solutions or micropayments operations; Give Something Back Network; or the recently acquired Network Services and Chockstone processing platforms." • The Post story said that Heartland "began receiving fraudulent activity reports late last year from MasterCard and Visa on cards that had all been used at merchants which rely on Heartland to process payments... 40 percent of transactions the company processes are from small to mid-sized restaurants across the country." • The Post noted that many IT security folks are curious (as am I) as to why the announcement was made today - the day where 99% of the news is about the US inauguration. • More than a bit suspicious, I think, and it makes you wonder if there is more to the story than what Heartland is disclosing, or whether their public relation's department is tone deaf. We will keep a close eye on this - given the history of large scale data breaches, other shoes will be dropping shortly.
