JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Fidelity National Information Services, the leading processor for credit union card accounts and a leading processing and authentication provider, began putting stronger internal control procedures into place after the processor discovered a data breach, which it alleged came from a source inside one of the company's subsidiaries.
According to court documents filed in relation to the matter one William Sullivan, then a database administrator for Certegy Check Services, allegedly misappropriated 2.2 million records gathered as part of Certegy's check authorization business, formed his own company and sold the data to direct marketing firms. Data from some 98,000 credit cards that had been used to secure lines of credit at casinos were also compromised, the company alleged.
Certegy Check Services has been part of FIS since the company purchased Certegy in January 2006.
