In June 2021, XYZ Corp experienced a significant ransomware attack that led to the encryption of critical customer data. The attackers demanded a substantial ransom to provide the decryption key. Despite efforts to mitigate the damage, the breach resulted in the personal information of over 10,000 customers being compromised, including names, email addresses, and credit card information. The incident caused a temporary shutdown of XYZ Corp’s online services, eroding customer trust and resulting in a significant financial loss due to system recovery costs and damage to the company's reputation.
