TechFlow Inc.

TechFlow Inc.

In June 2023, TechFlow Inc., a leading software development company, suffered a devastating ransomware attack. The cybercriminals behind this attack exploited a known vulnerability that had not been patched in the company's public-facing server. As a result, they managed to encrypt critical project data and demanded a significant ransom for the decryption keys. Despite attempts to recover the data from backups, a portion of the data was permanently lost, causing delays in project timelines and a loss of trust among some of TechFlow Inc.'s key clients. This incident not only impacted the company financially but also tainted its reputation in the highly competitive tech market.
