In March 2024, Tech Innovate Inc. was hit by a sophisticated ransomware attack that encrypted critical data across multiple servers. Despite having robust security measures in place, the attackers exploited a previously unknown vulnerability in the company's file-transfer software. Immediate impact included significant operational disruptions, delayed customer projects, and financial losses estimated at $5 million due to downtime and recovery efforts. The company had to negotiate with the attackers for the decryption key, though no ransom was disclosed publicly. The incident sparked an industry-wide review of security practices surrounding file-transfer solutions.
