TechWave Inc., a leading software development company, experienced a significant data breach incident in July 2023, impacting customer and employee data. The attack was conducted using sophisticated malware deployed through phishing emails, which bypassed the existing security protocols. Sensitive information, including customers' personal identification details and employees' payroll information, was compromised and leaked on dark web forums. This breach has not only led to financial losses due to fraudulent activities but also severely damaged the company's reputation. Immediate actions were taken to secure the network, notify affected individuals, and work with cybersecurity experts to prevent future incidents. The company is currently cooperating with law enforcement agencies to trace the perpetrators.
