Supermarket company Hannaford reports data breach of 4.2 million accounts
Posted on Mar 17, 2008 by Tom Fragala
The Hannaford Bros. supermarket chain said a breach of its computer system led to the theft of about 4.2 million credit and debit card numbers from its Hannaford and Sweetbay stores and other locations.
Hannaford, based in Maine, said about 1,800 cases of fraud have been tied to the breach, but no personal information -- such as names or addresses -- was accessed, and it has contained the breach.
More from The Boston Globe.
