This. My lil' brother is in computers, doesn't have a degree but has lots of certifications, and he just switched jobs

Ransomeware. I'm months shy of 50 and worked my whole career in IT

Did it move laterally because of patching or credentials?

How much did the ransomware guys want for decrypting those servers?

That's a cycle you never want to enter. Better to take the brunt and restore

We still had about 200 2008.
Belboz

As soon as a domain admin hash is pulled from a 2008, all other servers

How is that specific to 2008?

2008 is susceptible to extracting password hashes out of memory.

AND despite having regular PCI audits, our domain admins list was out of control
