How they attack
Entry
Fake updates and fake 'verify you are human' pages
Like a fake notice posted in a real shop telling customers to take a 'remedy' that is actually poison.
Goal
Quietly stealing information
Like a spy who stays for months, copying files from the cabinet a little at a time.
Goal
Double extortion: encrypt and leak
Like locking your safe and also taking copies of the papers inside, threatening to publish them unless you pay.
