How they attack

Entry

Hijacking an IT provider's remote tool

Like stealing the key ring of a building manager who holds spare keys to many homes.

Inside

Pushing out through legitimate admin tools

Like taking over the building's PA system to broadcast fake orders to every floor at once.

Goal

Steal first, then lock up

Like taking the files, then locking the office, and demanding payment for both.
