How they attack
Entry
Using hijacked legitimate websites
Like slipping your own package into a trusted shop's delivery boxes so it arrives unquestioned.
Inside

Like entering on a visitor badge, then using a broken lock on the security office to get the master key.
Goal
Locking data for ransom
Like padlocking the filing cabinets and demanding money for the key.
