In Jully 22, 2025 the Incransom group claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on the National Boat Owners Association (NBOA), a U.S.-based organization serving recreational boaters and marine insurers. The breach, estimated to have occurred on July 21, involved the unauthorized access and listing of internal files e.g. accounting records, tax documents, insurance policies, and personal folders. NBOA, which serves hundreds of thousands of members, has not issued public confirmation, but the incident raises serious privacy concerns for its community.
