Hannaford Bros. Co. said Tuesday it is spending millions of dollars to
enhance the security of its data network following a massive security
breach that exposed up to 4.2 million credit and debit card numbers to
fraud.

It was during the card approval process that customer accounts at
grocery stores in the Northeast and Florida were compromised from Dec. 7
