In March 2024, GlobalTech Inc. suffered a significant ransomware attack, leading to widespread disruption across its operations. The attackers managed to encrypt critical data and demanded a substantial ransom for its release. Despite efforts to restore systems from backups, the attack resulted in considerable downtime, affecting customer relations and leading to a temporary halt in production. Financial losses from the attack are estimated in the millions, with additional reputational damage yet to be fully assessed. The company is working closely with cybersecurity experts to enhance its security posture and prevent future incidents.
