"Boat Dealer MarineMax Hit by Cyberattack"

MarineMax, one of the world’s largest retailers of recreational boats and yachts, recently disclosed a cyberattack that has caused some disruption.  The Florida-based company revealed in a regulatory filing that it detected a cybersecurity incident on March 10.  The company noted that hackers gained access to its systems, which prompted them to initiate incident response and business continuity protocols.  The incident is still being investigated, but at the time of the regulatory filing, it did not have a material impact on operations.  Based on the limited information that has been made public, this could be a ransomware attack, but no known ransomware group appears to have taken credit for the attack.  MarineMax sells more than 100 new, used, and brokered boat brands.  The company has over 125 locations worldwide, including 78 dealerships and 57 marinas.  It has nearly 4,000 employees and reported a revenue of more than $500 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2024.
