I didn't say a software download was needed. Nobody knows if one will be needed; I'm merely stating the obvious that it's possible. "merchants can be fined up to $500,000 per incident and face remediation costs between $90 and $302 per card". This was a typographical error. Taken in full context of the text above and below, it's apparent that I'm referring to the merchant service provider, not the merchant. The text is under the heading IMPLICATIONS FOR HEARTLAND. Under IMPLICATIONS FOR MERCHANTS I've clearly stated that Merchants have no financial liability. With the correction of the last item, I stand by the accuracy of my article. Who I am is very clear- just read the 'about us' page. My article was meant to deliver more information than Heartland Payment Systems has been giving people- straight talk.

"According to the Washngton Post"...well, you said it. Christine, you have to get your facts staright. There are no software downloads needed. Merchants face no fines. Heartland is 100% Compliant. You have probably been breached by now as well and you either don't know it or are hifding it. Actually, you aren't even a processor...nor is the ISO you buy from. You can bet that First Data has been breach and not disclosed it though. Typical ISO propaganda... You have to be kiding me!
