In September 2023, TechFlow Solutions, a leading data analytics firm, experienced a significant cyberattack classified as a 'Ransomware' incident under the Sub Tag. The attackers gained unauthorized access to the company's secure data servers, encrypting critical customer data and demanding a ransom for the decryption key. The breach was detected within hours, but not before the ransomware spread across the network, leading to a partial disruption of services and delayed projects, impacting the company's reputation and financial health significantly. While the company managed to avoid paying the ransom through backups, the incident exposed vulnerabilities in their cybersecurity protocols, prompting an overhaul of their security measures and an official investigation to prevent future occurrences.
