Another large data breach involving credit cards

A breach at Network Solutions exposed a large number of credit card information. According to various reports, hackers inserted code on Network Solutions’ servers that sniffed customer credit card number and personal information. The breach affected accountholders of Network Solutions domain registration and Web services, as well as numerous online retailers that utilize the company’s hosting and online payment services.


After Heartland Payment Systems breach early this year, this is another payment gateway, which shows that hackers are increasingly targeting such organizations and credit card information in general.
