Recently there has been press coverage surrounding an incident involving credit card theft in a few restaurants in Louisiana Who use the Aloha System. A law suit has been filed alleging that The Local Aloha dealer and Radiant Systems are responsible for these Restaurants falling victim to credit card theft. The Theft took place when criminal hackers loaded malicious software on the system which captured data prior to it entering the Aloha software. This incident took place 2 years ago and does not involve Cardinal Business Equipment or any of our customers.
Recently Radiant released the following statements in response to the allegations
• Radiant’s POS software was not compromised during these incidents.
• Radiant’s products were among the first POS technologies to be validated against VISA’s initial set of data security requirements in 2005. Since the inception of these requirements, Radiant has continuously maintained payment industry validation (now called PA DSS) when releasing our software.
• There are twelve requirements for a business to achieve compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Radiant helps support compliance with these requirements by developing secure payment applications.
• In addition to meeting payment industry standards, Radiant has invested in product innovations, resulting in our customers having the best arsenal in the industry to fight criminals intent on stealing personal credit card information.
Credit Card theft is becoming a malicious industry as criminals all over the world attempt to hack computer systems and steal active credit card numbers. Credit card company's along with the industry are creating and implementing strict policies and procedures to insure credit card numbers remain safe. These practices rely in part on everyone involved from Banks to Credit Card companies to POS Vender's to Retailers all the way down to consumers. Radiant, Aloha Software, and Cardinal are committed to keep technology as secure as possible.
Retailers also have responsibilities to insure there customers are safe. To learn more about Data security and CISP Compliancy we encourage our customers to contact our Professional services representatives who can help you maintain a secure system.
