Interesting article that discusses how most cyber attacks are not overly complicated. It outlines a high level approach on how the author would carry out a simple hack to a network. The author mentions some of the topics that we have been discussing in class such as using very basic social engineering based of simple reconnaissance from users’ social media sites. For example, targeting a user that shows a strong political interest throughout their posts. Sending a phishing email that attacks this interest. He also mentions using pivoting and password spraying to try and gain access to any external facing servers.
