In April 2024, TechGlobe fell victim to a sophisticated ransomware attack by an unknown threat group. Critical infrastructure was encrypted, leading to a halt in operations for over a week. The attackers demanded a substantial ransom in cryptocurrency. While no customer data was reported stolen, the company incurred significant operational losses and reputational damage. The incident prompted a comprehensive security overhaul to prevent future breaches.
