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.
