In March 2023, TechSolutions Inc. suffered a significant ransomware attack resulting in the encryption of critical company data and service disruption. The attackers demanded a substantial ransom for data decryption keys. This incident caused a notable service outage impacting customers globally, leading to financial losses and reputational damage. Investigation revealed the breach occurred due to an unpatched vulnerability in the company's external-facing systems, which the attackers exploited to deploy ransomware. The impact was magnified as the company struggled to restore services, leading to temporary closure of operations in several regions. This event highlights the critical need for continuous vulnerability management and robust incident response processes.
