4. Target – 70 million customers data breached in a couple of weeks.
5. Neiman Marcus – Between July 16, 2013 to October 30, 2013, hackers accedes in store credit and debit card transaction information. An estimation of 1.1 million consumers were affected.
6. Albertsons & SuperValu – Stores under the AB Acquisitions LLC were hacked, including Albertsons and SuperValu. Combined, nearly a thousand stores nation wide were affected.
7. Sally Beauty – Approximately over 280,00 card information was stolen and sold on an underground crime store. Banks bought back the information and discovered the common source to be Sally Beauty.
8. Home Depot – Hackers were able to deploy malware into self-checkout systems in the U.S. and Canada, which compromised 56 million credit cards and 53 million emails.
9. Staples – The office supply  store announced a data breach had taken place in 119 and resulted in theft of 1.16 million consumers card information.
10. Bebe – December, 2013, women’s retailer announced a month long breach that took place a month prior.

After the security breach at Target,  the company was  sued in Federal court in a complaint that specifically read “Target failed to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature and scope of the information compromised in the data breach.” Basically, Target was accused of failing to properly maintaining their POS and transactional network which cost them millions in damages for a breach that only lasted a short time.

And now hackers are moving from larger retailers and targeting the POS systems of smaller businesses as well.Retailers must remember that the ultimate responsibility of maintaining their POS systems safe rests with the business owner and they can held liable for any breaches.

Since hackers quickly use new technologies, the only sustainable defense is continuously maintaining, updating, and upgrading POS systems.  There are routine maintenance protocols, periodic upgrades and now ones that have to react quickly to new threats.

Technical support has evolved from simply assisting when the need arises to helping protect the security of POS systems with routine, incidental, and on demand maintenance (patches/updates/upgrades).

Here are some other reasons why an all inclusive technical support plan is needed.

We work for only pennies per hour for you. So, why else should you maintain your Technical Support Plan?

The plan will pay for itself without you even knowing it. We will be working to keep your system optimized with software upgrades and routine maintenance so your system is always up to date as it should be.Sintel Systems Technical Support

Most of us don’t call the fire department in a given year and don’t question continuing having the local fire department because we want them there when we need them. Also, throughout the year they provide inspection services, enact preventive measures, and offer community educational services. You may never know that the brush they cleared nearby saved your home or their inspection services ensured that fires don’t spread. As a society, we continue to demand them even though 99 percent of us don’t call them in an average year.

This is very similar to POS support, service, and training provided by Sintel Systems. Rest assured, you have received support even if you have not called us. How?
