Laptops with them.
And that vendor had been infected with some flavor of malware, like active live attackers that had hands-on keyboard on those laptops.
And so when they plugged those work laptops into Target's environment, the people who had control of them, the threat actors who had control of those laptops, went, Oh, fuck a new environment, and started looking around the environment.
