In July 2023, Example Corp suffered a significant cyber attack that led to the unauthorized access of its customer data database. This breach exposed sensitive personal information of over 10,000 customers, including names, addresses, and credit card details. The attack was later attributed to a well-known hacking group that exploited a previously unknown vulnerability in the company's cybersecurity defenses. The immediate financial cost to the company was estimated at around $1 million, including regulatory fines, customer compensation, and upgrades to its cybersecurity system. However, the long-term damage to the company's reputation is expected to far exceed this initial outlay, potentially resulting in lost customers and decreased trust in the brand.
