In March 2023, TechCorp experienced a significant data breach that led to the exposure of sensitive customer information, including names, addresses, and payment details. The breach was the result of a sophisticated cyber attack exploiting a previously unknown vulnerability in TechCorp’s online platforms. Despite prompt efforts to secure the breach and mitigate its effects, the incident resulted in widespread concern among customers and a temporary drop in the company's stock price. TechCorp has since implemented stricter security measures and is working with customers to protect their information.
