"By the latest count, the number of institutions that have informed 
their card customers and members that they were hit as a result of the 
Heartland Payment Systems (HPY) data breach has swelled to 157.

Heartland, the sixth-largest payments processor in the U.S., announced 
on Jan. 20 that its processing systems were breached in 2008, exposing 
an undetermined number of consumers to potential fraud. Since then, 
scores of banks and credit unions from across North America have stepped 
forward to say their customers are among those whose cards were 
compromised in the breach."
