Notable Quotes 2
Haggen alleged that, if it is destroyed as a competitor, its damages may exceed $1 billion, and asserted it is entitled to treble and punitive damages and to seek rescission of the asset purchase agreement.
Recently, the firm issued a report for the first intrusion (a copy of which has been provided to the card networks), finding that, although the Company's network had previously been found to be compliant with payment card industry data security standards (PCI DSS), not all of these standards had been met, and this non-compliance may have contributed to or caused at least some portion of the compromise that occurred during the first intrusion.
Red Flags 3
- Significant potential liabilities from the Haggen lawsuit.
- Potential for increased payments to Safeway stockholders in the appraisal proceeding.
- Non-compliance with payment card industry data security standards (PCI DSS).
