We just got all new VISA bank debit cards in the mail along with a letter that said that our bank "discovered a security issue with Heartland Payment Services which may have compromised certain check card information - including your Visa check card number."
We haven't had any questionable transactions. This is a big bother because this is the account that I use for all kinds of online payments and automatic payments. Going back through the checking account register for the last 6 months I've come up with the list of places where I have to change the info, like eBay, PayPal, Amazon, Ticketmaster, USPS, Half.com, Alltel. I'm sure more will need to be changed.
I looked up Heartland Payment Services and this security breach happened in January, 2009. Odd that they waited this long to take action on our bank cards. I guess were lucky that we had no problems.
