In March 2024, TechCorp was hit by a sophisticated ransomware attack. The attackers exploited a vulnerability in the company's network, encrypting critical data and demanding a ransom for its release. While the attack did not result in the theft of personal data, it disrupted TechCorp's operations for several days, leading to significant financial losses and damage to the company's reputation. An investigation is ongoing, but the incident has highlighted the need for improved cybersecurity measures within the organization.
