Travelex

The 2020 Travelex ransomware disruption was not only a story about a foreign-exchange brand knocked offline at the worst possible time. It was a dependency failure for banks, supermarkets, airport desks, travelers, employees, creditors and outsourced service customers who discovered that currency services could vanish when one specialist provider lost digital trust. The accountable question is who controlled patching, partner continuity, manual fallback, customer communication, attacker-pressure economics, restructuring choices and the evidence needed to prove recovery.
