The night nobody was watching
A small administration business was certain it held nothing worth stealing. Its five clients would have disagreed. This is what happened at 11:47pm, and what would have stopped it.
Illustrative scenario. This walkthrough is a composite built from attack patterns LANTEK sees in South African businesses. It does not depict a real client, and the names, figures and organisations in it are invented.
