Example Corp experienced a major data breach in which attackers gained unauthorized access to the personal information of approximately 10,000 customers. The breach was attributed to a sophisticated spear-phishing campaign that allowed hackers to bypass traditional security measures. The stolen information includes names, email addresses, and credit card details. The company has notified affected individuals and offered credit monitoring services. Despite immediate steps taken to secure their systems, the breach has affected customer trust and is expected to have a lasting impact on the company's reputation.
