Heartland data breach hit 160 banks (and rising)

,----[ Quote ]
| Malware planted on servers was used to steal card data. It didn't say how 
| many records were exposed and how many financial institutions were affected 
| by the breach. Heartland only said that it processed 100m transactions a 
| month on behalf of 250,000 merchants, sparking concerns that the extent of 
| the problem might rival that of the infamous TJX breach.
