ExampleCorp

In March 2021, ExampleCorp experienced a severe ransomware attack that led to significant operational disruption. The attackers gained access through a vulnerability in the company's network, encrypting critical data and demanding payment for its release. The impact was substantial, with financial losses from disrupted operations, recovery expenses, and damage to the company's reputation as customers and partners lost trust. Internal employee data, including sensitive personal details, was compromised, which led to a class-action lawsuit by the affected employees. The company's stock price fell sharply when news of the breach was released, indicating a severe blow to investor confidence.
