Amart Furniture Data Breach

What happened

In May 2022, the Australian retailer Amart Furniture advised that their warranty claims database hosted on Amazon Web Services had been the target of a cyber attack. Over 100k records containing email and physical address, names, phone numbers and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes were exposed and shared online by the attacker.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your Amart Furniture password immediately, and update it anywhere you reused the same password.
• Enable two-factor authentication on the affected account and on your critical services (email, banking).
• Watch for targeted phishing emails referencing Amart Furniture — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Stay alert for smishing (SMS phishing) and SIM-swap attempts using your phone number.
• Exposed identity data raises identity-theft risk — consider credit monitoring or a credit freeze.
