Attackers continuously look for the easiest method to collect information. There are many tools available with which attackers can extract a company’s database. Once they have access to the database, they can gather employees’ email addresses and phone numbers, the company’s internal URLs, etc. With the information gathered, they can send spam emails to the employees to fill their mailboxes, hack into the company’s website, and modify the internal URLs. They may also install malicious viruses to make the database inoperable.
