1-21-09: You may be getting a new set of credit cards in the mail soon; one of the nations largest payment processors has had their system hacked into, the second breach in the past few weeks.
Heartland Payment Systems processes debit and credit card transactions for more than a quarter of a million companies. Their system has been hacked into and credit card numbers and expiration dates have been stolen.
No personal customer information like your social security number, address, or date of birth was compromised, only the card numbers.
Check your statements carefully to look for any unauthorized charges. Visa and MasterCard are aware of the breach and banks will be re-issuing cards very soon to customers whose numbers were affected.
