GenericCorp experienced a significant data breach in which personal information of over 10,000 customers was leaked. This incident was the result of a targeted ransomware attack that exploited a known vulnerability in the company's email system. The attackers demanded a ransom in cryptocurrency, threatening to release the data online. Despite efforts to secure the network, the breach has led to a loss of customer trust and potential financial liabilities stemming from regulatory fines and legal challenges.
