Tech Stock Takedown: UK Firm Blames Cyber Attack for Website Woes
Stock in the Channel, a UK-based tech company, faced a website outage due to a ransomware attack. The cyber intruders exploited a zero-day vulnerability, causing havoc. While services are partially back, stock and price information might not be up to date. The company assures no data breach occurred.
Hot Take:
Looks like Stock in the Channel found itself in a digital ditch, thanks to some cyber miscreants who decided to exploit a zero-day vulnerability in a third-party app. Talk about a tech-stock apocalypse! While the website is down and out, the phone lines are probably buzzing hotter than a jalapeño in a heatwave. It’s a classic case of “Oops, I did it again” – except this time Britney wasn’t the one playing with fire.
