Five billion people are online every day.
Every connected environment carries risk.
We don’t assume security works. We prove it.
Click an incident to learn how real-world cyber attacks impacted us all.
Known as Stuxnet, It was the world’s first true digital weapon. A piece of code built not to steal data, but to break physical machines. It secretly infiltrated a high security nuclear facility, rewrote Siemens PLC logic from the inside, and made uranium centrifuges tear themselves apart while every dashboard in the control room showed perfectly normal readings.
Lesson: Cyber attacks can manipulate industrial systems and cause real-world damage without detection.
Attackers got into Target’s network through a small HVAC contractor that had remote access. From there, they reached the payment systems and stole millions of customer card numbers.
Lesson: Even trusted vendors can create openings for attackers. Keep third-party access limited, monitored, and locked down.
A malicious intrusion into Colonial Pipeline’s internal business network caused the company to halt fuel operations across the U.S. East Coast as a precaution. Although the operational infrastructure wasn’t directly breached, the impact on administrative systems forced a complete shutdown.
Lesson: Even an attack isolated to office or administrative systems can lead to major operational disruption. Strong segmentation and well-planned response procedures are critical.
MGM’s breach did not begin with malware or exploits. It began with a phone call. By impersonating an employee, attackers persuaded the help desk to grant access, bypassing technical defenses entirely. Critical systems went offline, operations stalled, and losses followed.
Lesson: Security controls are only as strong as the people operating them. Social engineering continues to outperform technical attacks.
In one of the most disruptive cyber events in history, a faulty update from a major security vendor triggered a worldwide cascade of system crashes. Millions of Windows machines blue-screened in unison—grounding flights, halting hospitals, freezing banks, and shutting down businesses across the globe. One flawed security patch brought the modern world to a standstill.
Lesson: Centralized security tools are powerful—but when they fail, they can break entire nations in a single update. Redundancy and offline contingencies are no longer optional.
