The Register UK ☛ Ransomware crews lean into infostealers for initial access
Miscreants have plenty of ways to gain access to a business's internal systems. For example, they can brute-force their way in, logging into accounts with weak, default, or easily guessed passwords. They can buy their way in using so-called initial access brokers, who perform the actual infiltration. They can use credential stuffing, in which they obtain username-password combinations for one online service and see if those creds let them into another service as too many people reuse the same password everywhere.
