When you hear about well-known corporations getting hacked and either be held for ransom or have their data stolen, is it most frequently initiated through spear phishing?

What are some other ways corporate intrusions happens?

Also, got any good forums for learning to phish? (I'm interested in defending against intrusions)

Hi,

What are some other ways corporate intrusions happens?

It's not like peopleware is the only part of the computer.

The very point of bug bounty programs is to uncover software vulnerabilities.

For hardware, red team and pentesting wireless attacks are more common than you think.

We're not allowed to talk about other forums here. Or phishing for that matter. See Help Docs.

But these day, after repeated and publicized intrusions, big companies hire competent cyber security teams who patch all their software as soon as a new vulnerability is found. And I highly doubt hackers are using zero days to penatrate their system. So doesn't that only leave spear phsishing?

This part made me smirk 😏

I suggest you keep doubting, honestly. Gives you more peace of mind.

Breaches these day happen often because of website/other software vulnerabilities, people inside the company, social engineering or a combination of them all isn't rare either

Typically in smaller companies its because of someone getting phished. Probably due to lack of training
