Sept 1 (Reuters) - Credit and debit card processor Heartland Payment Systems (HPY.N) agreed to pay $5 million to Discover Financial Services (DFS.N) to settle data security breach claims and said this was the final agreement with a card brand related to a cyber theft in its systems in 2008.

Cyber thieves had breached Heartland's payment systems and stolen credit card information in 2008.

The company had previously settled similar claims with Visa Inc (V.N), MasterCard Inc (MA.N) and American Express Co (AXP.N).

Heartland was one of the victims of computer hacker Albert Gonzalez, a mastermind of the biggest identity theft in U.S. history who confessed to stealing tens of millions payment card numbers from companies. [ID:nN25231733]
