I think the article mentions that it's small businesses that are at risk. Most mom and pop shops don't have the greatest IT infrastructure.

What sort of IT infrastructure do they usually have? - My gut reaction was that they wouldn't have a need for a server in the first place, but I guess that depends on how small it is. A simple file-share though, would be rather vulnerable to this.
