Share This Post

Boat dealer MarineMax is informing more than 123,000 individuals about a data breach resulting from a ransomware attack launched against the company earlier this year.

The incident came to light in March, when MarineMax, one of the world’s largest retailers of recreational boats and yachts, revealed in an SEC filing that it was targeted in a cyberattack that had caused some disruption. 

The Rhysida ransomware group took credit for the attack, auctioning data allegedly stolen from the company. 

Screenshots published at the time by the hackers suggested they had obtained financial documents and spreadsheets, among other types of files.

MarineMax informed the Maine Attorney General’s Office this week that the incident resulted in a data breach impacting more than 123,000 people

The company initially said the compromised environment did not store any sensitive data, but it’s now telling impacted customers that the hackers acquired some files, including ones containing their personal information. 

Affected individuals are being provided two years of free credit monitoring and identity restoration services. 

The Rhysida ransomware group emerged in May 2023 and it continues to be active, targeting organizations in various sectors, including government, IT, manufacturing, healthcare, and education.
