FinTech Secure Inc.

In March 2023, FinTech Secure Inc. suffered a significant data breach when cybercriminals infiltrated their network through a vulnerability in their public-facing web application. Despite best efforts, attackers exfiltrated sensitive customer information, including names, social security numbers, and financial transaction records. The incident was exacerbated by the attackers maintaining persistent access for several weeks before detection. The breach not only led to a direct loss of customer trust and financial compensation costs but also caused a temporary halt of the company's online services, leading to an additional loss in revenue and increased regulatory scrutiny.
