You really don't want to know how many basically static sites that would do fine with static HTML, css for styling and some javascript for a couple neat animations are actually made with bigass CMS frameworks like Joomla (it's a php framework that allows non-web-developers to make changes to a website with a wysiwyg editor or add content as if it was a forum), so each of these pieces of shit has a php and sql server and whatever else running to serve like 4 static pages with some animations, just because the "web developer" is not even a true web developer but is just a poser moron and the client does not know better.
Then some complain to me that the VM of their webserver (also running Windows Server 2016, because they only know how to use Windows with a GUI) gets insta-pwned the moment it goes online and some botnet scanning the internet for such pieces of garbage servers installs cryptominers in the VM.
Of course they don't like my answer that they would need to hire someone that isn't a moron to make their site so it could be actually made halfway safe (or even better have the site made with one of many third party hosting companies), so they usually just ask me to clean it and update the software and hope that it isn't insta-pwned again (hint: it is, like all the times).
There are many, many of these insta-pwned VMs running around with their virtual CPU at 100% running some cryptominer software in our clients servers.
