Major Data Breach Puts Millions At Risk

Got a call from my little Credit Union today (on a Saturday) saying that all of their ATM/Debit/Check cards had been potentially compromised by the Heartland scandal, they put a lock on the card and will reissue -- hardly an inconvenience for me, but this breach affects millions and is far more serious and widespread than the news stories that were strategically placed on inauguration day indicated.

It is a good idea for everyone to check all their card balances daily until things settle down -- as for Heartland, I hope their downplaying tactics are investigated by the Justice Dept.
