HEARTLAND DEBIT CARD/CREDIT CARD BREACH!

Over the past couple of weeks a large number of you have either received a letter or e-mail from us regarding this “breach”, or you have heard about it in the media. HFCU wants to assure you that our staff is working hard to reduce both the fraudulent activity risk and any inconvenience this may cause you.

The breach originated with Heartland Payment Systems, one of the third largest credit and debit card processors in the country. Their processing system was breached, sometime around mid January 2009, when malicious software was used to enable the theft of card data from merchants on their system. Heartland has since been working with law enforcement and now believe the intrusion has been contained. However, during the breach they have identified a number of cards that may have been compromised. This may have occurred by making a debit card purchase at a merchant that utilizes Heartlands system from the period of May 15th through November 13th, 2008. Even though your card may have been identified it doesn’t mean that your card will have fraudulent charges on it.

HFCU has taken important steps to protect you if you debit card has been identified. In most cases we have blocked your card and ordered a new card and pin number to assure your protection against this potential threat. If you detect any suspicious activity on your account, notify the Credit Union immediately.

The Credit Union and MasterCard Debit take very seriously our obligation to protect the security and privacy of our members. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
