A massive data breach at a company connected to the grocery retail giant Ahold Delhaize USA impacted more than 2.2 million victims.

The breach targeted Ahold Delhaize USA Services, LLC, a firm that provides support services to Ahold Delhaize USA, one of the largest grocery retail groups on the East Coast.

Stolen data from the breach varied on a person-to-person basis but included names, contact details, birthdates, Social Security numbers, passport and driver’s license numbers, financial account records, workers’ compensation details, medical records in employment histories and other employment-related records, per a notification on the Maine Attorney General’s website.

“We detected a cybersecurity issue involving unauthorized access to some of our internal US business systems on November 6th, 2024. We immediately launched an investigation with the assistance of leading external cybersecurity experts, coordinated with US federal law enforcement and began taking steps to contain the issue.

Based on our investigation, we identified that an unauthorized third party obtained certain files from one of our internal US file repositories between November 5th and 6th, 2024.”

Ahold Delhaize USA Services says it is currently notifying impacted victims and offering complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services for two years.

Ahold Delhaize USA is the American division of a large global retailer, and its domestic corporate umbrella includes the grocery brands Food Lion, Giant Food, The GIANT Company, Hannaford and Stop & Shop.
