In June 2024, FictionalCorp experienced a severe cyber attack that compromised the personal and financial information of over 10,000 customers, including names, addresses, and credit card details. The attack, believed to have been carried out by a known hacking group, utilized a previously unidentified vulnerability in the company's online payment system. The breach not only resulted in significant financial losses due to fraud but also impacted the company's reputation, leading to a temporary decline in customer trust and stock value.
