Sam's Club notified the NH Attorney General that an unauthorized party used stolen login credentials (email and password) to access member accounts on November 19, 2020. The credentials were stolen from external sources, not Sam's Club. The attacker may have accessed names, phone numbers, addresses, membership IDs, and partial payment card data, and conducted fraudulent Cash Rewards transactions. Approximately 1 New Hampshire resident was affected. Sam's Club reset passwords, implemented fraud defenses, and offered credit monitoring.
