When ransomware attacks began, it was more typical to see the blast radius centered around a single user who did something stupid, like run an exe or enable macros.
But that’s not how it’s done on these large enterprise networks. Ransomware gangs will still use single user entry points, but the hackers will work quietly inside the network to escalate privileges and determine key servers that should be targeted first.
