How they attack
Inside
Hiding in a dormant scheduled task
Like quietly adding their name to the rota for a storeroom that is only opened a few times a year.
Inside
A hidden virtual machine as a hideout
Like building a secret room in the attic and living there with all the tools.
Inside
Relaying traffic through several hops
Like passing through the back doors of several hijacked shops to hide the real destination.
Goal
Going after the master password book
Like trying to carry off the safe that holds every key in the building, not just one key.
