Wegman’s Identifies Possible Data Breach

Wegmans says the issue was brought to their attention by a third-party security researcher in the middle of April and the company worked with a forensics firm to determine the scope of the problem.
The release says while passwords were protected through what is called “hashing”, customers can change their passwords as a cautionary measure. Anyone with questions can call 1-855-535-1852.
