The phrase "coWPAtty" is used by certain persons in the realm of ethical hacking to denote an easy target; however, there is no true connection between the two. Systems or networks that are not secured with typical security procedures and have poor degrees of protection are referred to as coWPAtties. Systems on which coWPAtties occur can be found anywhere – at home, work, or even in public places such as airports and restaurants.   There are many different motivations for an assault on a system:   Because they lack even the most basic firewalls, unprotected servers may leave their users vulnerable online.   Some companies wilfully ignore the fact that they are using obsolete versions of software or passwords that are not safe.
