TechGlobal Inc., a multinational technology firm specializing in data analytics and cloud services, fell victim to a significant ransomware attack in March 2024. The attackers exploited a vulnerability in the company's VPN gateway, gaining unauthorized access to its internal networks. Consequently, sensitive customer data, including personal identification and financial information, were encrypted and held for ransom. Despite efforts to mitigate the impact, the breach led to the leak of data pertaining to over 10,000 individuals, causing severe reputational and financial damage to TechGlobal Inc. The company was forced to suspend operations temporarily to secure its infrastructure, incurring substantial financial losses and eroding customer trust. The incident highlighted the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures and swift incident response strategies to protect against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
