Carpet cleaning giant Stanley Steemer said nearly 68,000 people were affected by a cyberattack the company experienced in March.
In documents filed with regulators in Maine, the Ohio-based cleaning business said hackers broke into its systems on February 10 and were discovered on March 6.
The company said 67,921 are affected by the incident.
The notice does not say if it was a ransomware attack, and the company did not respond to requests for comment.
The Play ransomware gang claimed it attacked the company on March 17, allegedly stealing accounting data, budgets, tax documents, photos of passports and more.
Stanley Steemer says it notified federal law enforcement after the attack.
The company reported $577 million in sales in 2021 and has franchises in 49 states.
It is providing victims of the attack with two years of free credit monitoring services.
The Play ransomware operation continues to be one of the most damaging gangs currently operating.
