Hey, the money for the inauguration had to come from *somewhere*.

OK, so who’s Heartland and who’s credit card accounts do they process?

And this effects my Obama-sourced gas tank fillings and mortgage payments how?
Seriously though, this is precisely the financial infrastructural component weakpoint that Obamacampaign08 took advantage of to help itself to American's credit funds.
Looks like Hell has dissension in its ranks...

Heartland CFO and president Robert Baldwin, in an interview with BankInfoSecurity.com, said his company was confident that the only data picked up was cardholders’ names and credit card numbers. Look for an uptick in web-based donations to The One's campaign. /sarc>
Cheers!

I just got off the phone with my Heartland rep. His explanation follows.
The system was hacked by European hackers. They penetrated 39 firewalls to get into the system. A total of 50 credit card processors were hacked and Heartland is the only one to announce publicly. They were able to acces names and credit card numbers, but not pins, social security #s or merchant bank info. Heartland has shared their info with the other processors to help stop future attacks. And yes, it was a windows based system. I am still pissed.................red

Yeah, this has been out there happening for some time. They are using one bin number at a time. They have been buying lots of gift cards from Wal Mart.
To me it sounds like an inside job and I would be surprised if it isn't.

One other thing. If VISA and MC made the merchant give ID for the card, allot of this would be stopped. But since the merchant doesn’t care because there is no consequence to them for taking the bogus card, they could care less.

Maybe this is how Obama will pay for Porkulus Maximus. A stealth tax.
