Example Corp

In March 2023, Example Corp experienced a significant cybersecurity breach classified as a 'Data Leak' with a 'Cyber Attack' sub tag. An unauthorized party exploited a known vulnerability, leading to the exposure of sensitive customer data, including names, email addresses, and credit card numbers. This breach not only resulted in the theft of personal data affecting over 10,000 customers but also caused a temporary outage of Example Corp's online service platform, undermining customer trust and leading to a tangible reputation damage. Immediate measures were taken to secure the network, notify affected individuals, and enhance cybersecurity protocols to prevent future attacks.
