In August 2024, TechCorp Inc. fell victim to a sophisticated ransomware attack that encrypted critical data across its network, severely disrupting operations. The attackers demanded a ransom to provide the decryption key. Despite rapid response, the attack led to significant operational downtime, financial losses due to halted operations, and compromised employee and customer data. This incident not only caused immediate financial strain but also impacted the company's reputation, leading to a loss of trust among its customer base.
