Eli5: how does hackers infiltrate random mid-size company?

733 views

I’m saying random mid-size to exclude hackers with heavy resource and motivation to hack said company. I would assume Microsoft, banks, google etc all get heavily attacked every day. But like a random mid-size company for the average joe. How do they infiltrate e.g. their servers and take ransom of all their project files?

Most hacking is not targeted. That means hackers will simply scan the internet for insecure systems, such as server software that hasn’t been updated. Or they send out millions of emails with phishing links of trojans.

Sometimes the victim is going to be a grandma, sometimes it’s a hospital and sometimes it’s a mid-sized company.
