Example Corp

In July 2023, Example Corp experienced a severe data breach when hackers exploited a vulnerability in the company’s network, leading to the leak of personal information of over 1 million customers, including names, addresses, and payment details. The attackers used sophisticated ransomware to lock out the company from its data, demanding a significant ransom. The breach caused not only financial loss but also led to a loss of customer trust and potential legal repercussions due to the compromised personal data.
