130 Million Records in Heartland Payment Systems Indictment

I posted about this in February. I may update that later. They say 130 Million Credit Cards were compromised. That is almost half the US population. The article also mentions two accomplices were Russian.

I will update this post later to comment on the numbers involved between this, TJ Maxx and the Checkfree.com breach on Dec 2, 2008.

A federal grand jury has indicted three people on charges of hacking into the files of the credit and debit card processing giant Heartland Payment Systems last year in what the Justice Department is calling the largest identity-theft case ever prosecuted.
