CUInfoSecurity reports that yet another point-of-sale processor has announced that it has been hacked. This time the announcement comes from Montreal-based Lightspeed POS, founded in 2005, which sells a cloud-based point-of-sale system to retailers and restaurateurs to process both physical and online transactions. Lightspeed claims in its notification to clients that its breach affects the company's cloud-based POS product, Lightspeed Retail, which doesn't handle card data or customers' personal information, and which is mainly used by retailers. Lighspeed has over 38,000 customers in 100 countries, and processes 12 billion transactions annually. Canada doesn't have a nationwide mandatory data breach notification law, so the Lightspeed notification doesn't have some of the specifics required of U.S businesses.
