Attackers Turn Focus to PoS Vendors

This week, the payment gateway solution provider Charge Anywhere revealed that it had been victimized by a data breach that may have compromised data going as far back as 2009.

Charge Anywhere provides payment gateway services, cloud point-of-sale (PoS) solutions, mobile PoS, and other technologies aimed at banks, enterprises, and payment processors. The attack stands as another example of hackers targeting payment card data by going after PoS vendors, as opposed to just merchants.
