In March 2023, SecureNet Technologies was targeted in a sophisticated ransomware attack. The perpetrators managed to encrypt critical data, rendering essential services inoperative. Operations came to a standstill for 48 hours, causing significant financial loss and eroding customer trust. The attack was orchestrated through a phishing campaign that tricked an employee into downloading a compromised software update. Despite quick action from the internal cybersecurity team and assistance from external experts, the attack prompted concerns about the company’s future ability to protect client data.
