In June 2025, SecureDataTech faced a severe ransomware attack which encrypted critical customer data, resulting in significant service disruption. While the company was able to restore services from backups, the attack led to a temporary loss of reputation and customer trust. The perpetrators demanded a substantial ransom; however, the company chose not to pay and instead focused on strengthening their security posture to mitigate future incidents. This attack highlighted the growing sophistication of cyber criminals and the continuing vulnerability of significant data stores.
