In April 2023, GlobalTech Solutions experienced a sophisticated ransomware attack that encrypted critical servers and demanded a significant ransom. The attack led to a disruption of services and a temporary shutdown of the company's e-commerce platform. Sensitive customer data, including financial information and personal identification numbers, were compromised. Immediate efforts were made to contain the breach and notify affected individuals, but the repercussions led to a loss of customer trust and a significant downturn in the company's market valuation.
