How Ransomware Attacks Are Executed
Recon and Infiltrate
This first phase can include selecting a target, determining how to gain access to the target, and accessing the target.
Maintain and Manipulate
At this phase, threat actors are already inside. The attackers use their initial access to improve their position and move forward with their goals.
Execute and Exfiltrate
In the final phase, the attacker may access a target system via lateral movement, steal information, compromise backup systems, or target third parties.
