He's a big fat liar. She was practically a prisoner at her house and never left except to go to the store in the last year of her life!. He's a weirdo psycho freak. And she was probably depressed because he was and always will be a nut job. .

I am going to add to this thread, and apologies for my comments being so late.

I have read a lot in the news about people branding Heartland as non PCI compliant, as lax in their security measures and generally some pretty hateful comments. I wonder how any of these people actually KNOW they are not compliant, or perhaps KNOW how many firewalls, IPS or IDS devices they have in their network.
It is very unfortunate that they were hacked, but as it has been correctly stated, the data was captured in flight, which has now presented a new issue to protect against.
Heartland if found to be PCI compliant, really won't have done anything wrong, you can debate this but you will be debating the relevance of PCI compliancy :)

I hope the company makes it, if you have actually researched them, they do offer a fair deal to merchants, which in turn keep their prices down for me and you. Hackers are incredible these days, and it may well be the case that there is one who is better than the anti virus companies (wow, as if that hasnt happened before!!)

I completely agree. I feel that the time has come to provide end to end encryption, which should at least protect against this type of attack.
PCI compliance is only a point in time compliance, so it could well have been that their systems were not compliant even one day after the auditing finished. It is really unfortunate.

I personally feel that the management handled the situation appallingly, they should have some sort of grilling from visa m/c and amex. It was not handled the way you would expect and hope for, from a company that handles such sensitive data.

Good article and informed responses, far better to read and discuss than the usual "heartland should pay, death to heartland" lol

You probably meant by 10 AM VIX fell to 29, not 19. Looks like a typo to me. Thanks for the great blog by the way. :)

In one of the recent posts you mentioned that SPY goes ex-dividend this Friday. Could you please tell me where I could see the ex-dividend dates for ETFs like SPY, QQQQ, IWM etc?
Thanks a lot, love your blog!

1)if we are going to post facto legalize then we should repeal all immigration law and be done with it. otherwise it is just hypocritical. either WE decide who enters or just leave the door open.

2)all of these illegals, YES ALL, will be net beneficiaries of the welfare state. I don't want to pay for them and I shouldn't have to simply because the government fails to enforce the law and congress changes the rules mid-game.

lock the fricken' door and enforce the laws. Then if we need more immigration then open the door and let some in.

there was it that hard?
