This is pretty insightful. Statistically, attackers are probably mostly looking for badly configured machines which are easy to exploit rather than hardened systems that take a long time to penetrate.

State actors and obsessed attackers are different, of course. But statistically even taking care of using the simplest precautions keeps one out of the reach of the broad majority of such attacks.
