Lumber Liquidators recovering from computer malware attack

Flooring retailer Lumber Liquidators said Tuesday that it is recovering from a computer virus that disabled some of its corporate and store systems starting last Wednesday. The Toano-based company, which has 416 stores in North America, said that it is still investigating what happened, but “to date, the company has not discovered anything that leads it to believe any sensitive and confidential consumer or employee data was compromised.” “That data is further protected by the fact that the vast majority of customer and employee data, including customer credit card information, is secured and maintained on systems outside of the company’s network,” the company said in a statement late Tuesday. The company said its stores have remained open and serving customers using manual workarounds. Most of Lumber Liquidators stores had regained the ability to do transactions using normal point of sales systems on Tuesday, “and much of the customer-facing impact of the incident has been resolved,” the company said.
