Furniture Village - the UK's largest independent furniture retailer with 54 stores nationwide - has been hit by a "Cyber-attack", the company confirmed to The Register.
The problems emerged last weekend on 29 May when Furniture Village admitted it was experiencing "Technical issues" and it was unable to answer calls.
By Wednesday, Furniture Village revealed it was "Still experiencing technical issues with [its] internal systems" and that the team was working to resolve them as quickly as possible.
The Reg asked the furniture retailer what has caused the multi-day troubles and the company admitted that it had been the victim of a cyber-attack but stressed no data had been leaked and it was continuing to restore all "System-related functions".
"Frustratingly, Furniture Village was recently the target of a cyber-attack by immediately implementing security protocols, including shutting down the affected systems, we were able to restrict the scope of the attack."
Furniture Village declined to comment further beyond the statement issued.
