Attackers Target Check Point VPNs to Access Corporate Networks
They're also useful for malicious purposes. Rather than having to, say, exploit a publicly facing server, or a zero-day vulnerability, a hacker could use a remote access VPN for clean, unfettered access to an organization's IT environment.
From there, they could begin establishing persistence, probing for vulnerabilities, and much more.
How, though, do they get access to that VPN connection in the first place?
