The Financial Jigger is Up BIG TIME! (But Don't Tell Anyone Their Credit Cards Might Be Compromised Until Inauguration Day!)

I am awarding this company the Keith Olberman "Worst Company In The Worlllld" award!
Pooch

On Tuesday, one of the busiest news days of the year, Heartland Payment quietly released a statement declaring the company's card processing system had been hacked. Since the company handles more than 100 million credit card transactions monthly serving more than 250,000 businesses ranging from restaurants to retailers to payroll systems, chances are someone in every state is affected by this major data loss.

According to the New York Times , data thieves introduced the Heartland malware as early as May, and Heartland didn't open its eyes until late fall 2008. Then Heartland chose inauguration day to make its announcement.

The company knew about the problem since fall and announced it on Inauguration Day! Do you see why they deserve the Worst Company in the World award?
