MarineMax, self-described as one of the world's largest recreational boat and yacht retailers, says attackers stole employee and customer data after breaching its systems in a March cyberattack.

The Florida-based yacht seller said in a March 12 SEC filing that it didn't store sensitive data in the compromised systems. Still, on Monday, a new 8-K filing revealed that the malicious actors gained access and stole personal data belonging to an undisclosed number of individuals.

"The Company has determined that a cybercrime organization accessed a limited portion of our information environment associated with our retail business," MarineMax disclosed.

"As of the date of this filing, our ongoing investigation has identified that this organization exfiltrated limited data from this environment that includes some customer and employee information, including personally identifiable information."

While the company didn't attribute the attack to a specific threat group, the Rhysida ransomware gang claimed the attack and is now selling data allegedly stolen from MarineMax's network for 15 BTC (just over $1 million).
