Doherty was commenting Thursday. The complaint stated that his moral rights have been violated, in breach, data and was suspended for potential cases of fraud.
Doherty’s lawyer, Michael Fantini of Berger & Montague in Philadelphia, said he has received as many as 100 calls from people from counterfeiting, customers, credit or debit cards at the Hannaford store at 7 December 10 March.
“ More than four million cards have been affected or impaired, so that this case is large enough,’’said Fantini.
The complaint argues that the neglect Hanna Ford was not proper for the protection of systems and data customers. He argues, moreover, a violation of the company implied its customers with contracts to protect and share information on each flight.
Hannaford reported the breach of security, on March 17. The company was known, the first credit card on the unusual activity on Feb. 27.
