ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Slade Allen Woodson, of Afton, was charged in the shootings at the home and the credit union early Thursday, as well as the Interstate 64 shootings, which stirred memories of the Washington-area sniper shootings six years ago that killed 10 people.
Authorities also charged a 16-year-old from Crozet whose name was not released.”

Secretly Installed Software Stole Grocery-Store Customer Data
Friday, March 28, 2008
PORTLAND, Maine Unauthorized software that was secretly installed on servers in Hannaford Bros. Co.’s supermarkets across the Northeast and in Florida enabled the massive data breach that compromised up to 4.2 million credit and debit cards, the company said Friday.
The Scarborough, Maine-based grocer confirmed a report in The Boston Globe that it told Massachusetts regulators this week about the link between the breach and the illicit programs, known as “malware.”
The company doesn’t know how the malware short for malicious software got onto nearly all its 271 stores’ servers, Hannaford spokeswoman Carol Eleazer said.
“Virtually everything is possible,” she said. “There are still many, many aspects that we don’t totally understand.”
At least 1,800 cases of fraud have been linked to the data breach, with unauthorized charges showing up as far afield as Mexico, Italy and Bulgaria.
The breach has prompted concern in the industry because it appeared to be the first large-scale theft of credit and debit card numbers while the information was in transit.
