In March 2023, SecureNetTech experienced a significant data breach when hackers exploited a vulnerability in their network, resulting in a leak of internal employee data. The leaked data included personal information and confidential employment records of current and former staff. The breach was due to a phishing scam that allowed attackers to gain unauthorized access. SecureNetTech quickly addressed the vulnerability and informed the affected individuals, offering credit monitoring services as a precaution. The company is now reviewing its cybersecurity policies and training to prevent future incidents.
