ABSTRACT

The Supervalu supermarket chain acknowledged that "a criminal intrusion into the portion of its computer network that processes payment card transactions for some of its retail food stores" may have exposed an undisclosed number of customers' payment card data. Specifically, the company says payment card account numbers may have been stolen, along with some expiration dates and/or cardholder names. Affected cards were used between June 22, 2014 and July 17, 2014 at the 180 Supervalu stores and standalone liquor stores. Store brands include Cub Foods, Farm Fresh, Hornbacher's, Shop 'n Save, and Shoppers. "Supervalu believes that any losses incurred by Albertson's LLC or New Albertson's, Inc., as a result of the intrusion affecting their stores would not be Supervalu's responsibility," the company said in a statement.
