Heartland Payment Systems, a company that processes millions of credit and debit card transactions for merchants, recently reported that they had data stolen or compromised from their computer system.
Heartland's records show your Electric Orange MasterCard� Debit Card information was used by one of their merchants and likely compromised at their data processing center. The information taken may include your name, debit card numbers and expiration dates. According to Heartland, however,
"This data did NOT contain confidential merchant data or cardholder Social Security numbers, unencrypted personal identification numbers (PIN), addresses or telephone numbers, therefore making it highly unlikely it can be used for identity theft."
While the data intrusion/breach did NOT occur at ING DIRECT and Heartland is NOT affiliated with ING DIRECT, we are taking steps to protect you. Keep in mind you are always protected by our Orange Security Guarantee when you let us know about suspicious activity right away.
