This could not be a better example of why companies hesitate to disclose details. If this lawfirm is on the ball. They will get access to the exchange with Rapid7 which, according to the press release changes, indicates potential additional negligence in that the had a tool that may have prevented this problem and failed to use it properly. Not a helpful disclosure for Hannaford with respect to the class action.

Supermarkets File Class Action Suit http://sev.prnewswire.com/supermarkets/20080319/DC1720519032008-1.html On March 19, 2008, the law firm of Berger & Montague, PC (http://www.bergermontague.com) filed a class action suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine on behalf of all consumers in the United States whose credit card or debit card data was stolen from the computer network of Hannaford Brothers Co. ("Hannaford") supermarkets. The complaint alleges that Hannaford was negligent for failing to maintain adequate computer data security of customer credit and debit card data, which was accessed and stolen by a computer hacker. On March 17, 2008, Hannaford announced on its website that there was a "data intrusion into its computer network that resulted in the theft of consumer credit and debit card numbers." The stolen data included "credit and debit card numbers and expiration dates," which were accessed from Hannaford's computer system "during transmission of card authorization." The intrusion affected all Hannaford stores located throughout the North Eastern U.S., as well as Sweetbay stores in Florida. Published news reports indicated that 4.2 million unique credit and debit card numbers have been exposed to potential fraud. To date, there have been approximately 1,800 cases of reported credit and debit card fraud stemming from the breach.
