Example Corp

In May 2024, Example Corp was hit by a sophisticated ransomware attack attributed to the Cl0p group. The attackers exploited a known vulnerability in the MOVEit file transfer software, which was not patched timely. Confidential data including customer personal information, financial records, and proprietary research were encrypted and partially leaked online, demanding a substantial ransom. This incident severely disrupted operations, leading to a temporary halt in production and significant financial loss due to data recovery efforts and reputational damage.
