The company experienced a cyber attack due to outdated routers that had not received updates for over five years and had remote administration enabled by default. This vulnerability allowed attackers to exploit the system, leading to network anomalies such as slow network speeds, overheating, configuration changes, and unknown traffic. The attack compromised the company's security, potentially leading to data leaks and operational disruptions. The incident highlights the importance of maintaining up-to-date firmware and securing remote access to avoid similar breaches in the future.
