Hannaford became aware of the breach Feb. 27 [...] it wasn't contained until March 10
Can we say gross negligence?


I see lawsuits on the horizon...It takes a couple of hours TOPS to secure a network. You simply take all affected systems OFF of the network, until you can figure out what damage has been done. Plain and simple.

Sure it's going to cost them money in the meantime by not being able to accept credit/debit cards, but why risk their customers security in lieu of making a few extra bucks?
