Looks like this Sweetbay supermarket credit card issue is starting to pop up all over the wire.  From the article:

They say they are aware of about 1,800 cases of fraud related to the data intrusion and about 4.2 million unique account numbers were exposed.

Wow.  Here’s a Sweetbay Google news search.  All the stories are still pretty new, but Hannaford (parent company) says they have been aware of it since late February.

Here’s a graphic from Hannaford’s front page:

Think that kid is going to be as happy when he can’t get any new toys for a while because his parent’s have to clean up a credit mess?  Sorry, couldn’t resist.
