Heartland, which processes 100 million payment card transactions per month for 175,000 merchants, announced on Jan. 20 that it had discovered malware on its processing system. A second, as-yet undisclosed payment processor has also suffered a big breach, according to several credit union organizations. The company previously had announced its plans to spearhead an end-to-end encryption effort.”]
