The big news headlines like wannacry were fully automated. But one-trick ponies. If you had patched you were fine. What made it a problem was that so many hadn't.

But the sinister targeted ones where you only find out because someone is selling terabytes of confidential data, those are usually highly targeted and manual. It's very hard to automate and stay under the radar.

You need protection against both.

It doesn't surprise me that "sinister targeted" attacks are also "usually highly targeted".

Lol yeah not my best writing. Agreed
