A Sioux Falls woman who alleges her private personal information was compromised by a data breach of Furniture Mart’s computer system is suing the company for failing to adequately safeguard her information.

Christine Logan was one of more than 9,700 Furniture Mart customers whose information was hacked, per a company report. Logan is seeking class-action status on behalf of other customers who had their information compromised.

The Midwestern furniture giant reported to the Main Attorney General’s Office that it discovered suspicious activity in its system on Nov. 3, 2024, and the company launched an investigation. On Dec. 2, the investigation revealed that an “unknown actor” had viewed and copied customer records.
