In March 2023, TechVenture Inc., a leading software development firm specializing in financial solutions, suffered a substantial data breach. The breach was orchestrated through an elaborate phishing scheme that exploited a known vulnerability within the company's email system. This vulnerability allowed hackers to gain unauthorized access to the company's internal network. Subsequently, personal and financial information belonging to over 10,000 customers was stolen, including names, addresses, credit card information, and social security numbers. The breach not only resulted in significant financial losses due to identity theft and fraud but also damaged the company's reputation, leading to a decrease in customer trust and stock value.
