If You Were Thinking Of Suing Hannafords For The Credit Card Breach

[Henry]

A federal judge has tossed out numerous civil claims following last year's massive data breach at Hannaford supermarkets.

The breach, which was uncovered last March, exposed over 4 million credit and debit card numbers to hackers. At least 1,800 of those were stolen and used for unauthorized purposes. But on Tuesday, the judge ruled that only those who weren't reimbursed for the fraudulent charges may sue the supermarket chain. That decision tossed all complaints except for one from a Vermont woman who was not reimbursed.
