TechFlow Solutions

In March 2023, TechFlow Solutions experienced a ransomware attack that encrypted critical customer data and demanded a hefty ransom for the decryption key. The attack exploited a known vulnerability that had not been patched in their systems. This disruption caused significant delays in services, eroded customer trust, and the company incurred substantial financial costs in attempting to restore their systems. Experts believe the attack could have been prevented with better cybersecurity measures and more vigilant patch management protocols.
