Has anyone on here ever had a cyber attack?
I've seen plenty servers under attack, but never end-user machines. Phishing, yes, pranks from colleagues, malware yes. But never a direct attack.
The only malicious attack on a personal machine I've ever seen, was a Joe-job. Some spammer set a friend's mail address as return address for a spam run in the millions. Possibly even billions. It disrupted not only her PC, but also her provider's mail servers. Took days to get back to normal.
I don't think anyone is interested in original stems. They'll prefer to steal the end result.
I can see it happen in the sector I'm currently involved in: recordings from board meetings. But VOIP is encrypted, so It's not as simple as stealing the transcript or the exec summary. And these are usually not encrypted. Well, not really, as the text processor is usually word and breaking that password is trivially simple.
The most insecure factor still is the human one.
