In April 2023, TechCorp suffered a significant data breach when hackers infiltrated their network through an unpatched vulnerability. The attackers exfiltrated sensitive customer data, including personal identification and financial details. The company identified and stopped the breach after two days, but not before the data was leaked on the dark web. This has led to a loss of customer trust, potential identity theft, and financial fraud, impacting both the company's reputation and its customers' personal lives.
