Shields Up!: Three indicted in Heartland Payment Systems data theft

Three men have been indicted in what federal authorities are calling the largest identity theft case ever prosecuted. The three men are accused of hacking into the files of Heartland Payment Systems between October 2006 and May 2008. Heartland processes debit and credit card payment for over a quarter of a million businesses. Some of the breaches occurred at 7-Eleven and Hannaford Brothers and at least 650 financial institutions were affected.
