How they attack

Entry

Exploiting city management software

Like getting into city hall through the broken lock on the office that keeps the asset records.

Inside

Planting small back doors on web servers

Like leaving a tiny copied key in the shop's back-door lock that only the intruder knows about.

Inside

Injecting into harmless programs

Like slipping an extra package into an ordinary courier's bag so it gets carried in unnoticed.
