A U.S. district court in Texas has dismissed all but one of the claims brought by several banks against Heartland Payment Systems. A judge ruled that the banks had basically failed to state proper claims for seeking damages from Heartland. A total of nine banks filed suit against the payment processor, claiming it had acted negligently, violated consumer protection laws in multiple states. Heartland in 2009 disclosed that hackers had improperly accessed data on close to 130 million credit and debit cards over a period of several months.”]
