In March 2024, TechGlobal Inc. experienced a devastating ransomware attack that brought its operations to a standstill. The attackers exploited a vulnerability in the company's security infrastructure to deploy the ransomware, encrypting critical data across various departments. Despite attempts to restore operations from backups, significant data related to client projects and financial information was lost, leading to delays in service delivery and financial losses estimated in the millions. The attack was made public after a week of internal discovery, causing a drop in customer trust and a significant hit to the company’s reputation. TechGlobal Inc. is currently working with cybersecurity experts to reinforce their defenses and has pledged to enhance their security measures to prevent future incidents.
