A group of hackers used SQL injection techniques to steal huge amounts of data from Heartland Payment Systems Inc., TJX Companies Inc. and other businesses, according to court papers filed in connection with last week's indictment of the group's alleged ringleader.
A federal grand jury in New Jersey indicted Albert Gonzalez and two unidentified accomplices on charges related to the theft of 130 million credit and debit card numbers from Heartland, Hannaford Bros. Co., 7-Eleven Inc. and three other retailers not identified by prosecutors.
Gonzalez had been indicted earlier by grand juries in Massachusetts and New York on charges related to thefts of data from several other retailers, including TJX, Dave & Buster's Holdings, BJ's Wholesale Club, OfficeMax, Barnes & Noble and The Sports Authority.
