SecureNet Solutions

In April 2023, SecureNet Solutions experienced a significant cybersecurity incident classified as a 'Cyber Attack' with the 'Attack threatening the organization’s existence' impact level. Malware was deployed in the company's network infrastructure, leading to the exposure and encryption of sensitive customer and employee data. The attackers demanded a ransom, threatened to sell the data on the dark web, and caused substantial operational disruption, including the shutdown of online services. An investigation revealed that the breach was due to unpatched vulnerabilities that had been previously identified but not addressed in a timely manner.
