Banks around the country are reportedly receiving warnings, and
perhaps even new lists of cards to replace. This is apparently
regarding another credit card processor, unrelated to Heartland
Payment Systems, having a significant breach.

OSF has received multiple tips from multiple sources, and has spoken
with the good people over at bankinfosecurity.com who have confirmed
they too are hearing the exact same thing.

From what we've heard, this second breach is significant in scale, but
we have not as of yet been told who the processor is.

Also, speaking of BankInfoSecurity.com, they've released an article
about three people being arrested for allegedly using credit cards
from the Heartland Breach. And also, their list grows of institutions
affected by the Heartland incident (they maintain a much more
comprehensive list than we did). Hats off!

We'll post more details as we become aware of them.
