Heartland CEO Vows To Fight MasterCard Breach Fines Of $6 Million-Plus
Posted on May 11th, 2009 No commentsHeartland Payment Systems has apparently decided that being a data breach victim doesn’t mean that it has to be victimized by the card brands. At least that’s the impression from how Heartland CEO Robert Carr is reacting to more than $6 million in fines imposed on it by MasterCard, fines that that he said were illegal and that he plans to “vigorously contest” the fines.Data breach victims pushing back against fines is nothing new, but a processor calling out one of the two largest card brands and doing it during a very public investor conference call, well, that’s a bit different.

The Latest Chapter In Heartland’s Alice In Wonderland PCI Journey
Posted on May 4th, 2009 No commentsThe back-and-forth compliance dance that is being forced upon Heartland Payment Systems took its latest journey through the PCI Looking Glass Friday (May 1), with Heartland declaring that it has now returned to Visa’s list of PCI DSS validated service providers (aka the list of providers that Visa heartily recommends today but will deny ever having heard if they’re breached tomorrow).The journey began when Heartland was certified PCI compliant April 2008.
