The Kroger Company has announced that personal data, including social security numbers of their pharmacy and clinic customers, may have been compromised. Approximately one percent of customers in the database were affected, although the breach did not affect Kroger stores.  The intrusion arose through a file-transfer product marketed by Accellion Inc. a California developer of systems to securely share data.  The incident also affected diverse users including the University of Colorado and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.  Files on 1.6 million claims processed by the State of Washington were also accessed.
