In general, attacks (e.g. most ransomware campaigns) are not automated malware spreading on its own, they involve people. If it's accessible on a network (which is the big 'if'), then it's obvious on any scan that it's a Win95 machine, and then you can try to look up a vulnerability for any exposed service. For example, if file sharing is running, then all the SMB vulnerabilities (e.g. EternalBlue and friends) apply also to Win95 systems, and I'm not sure if Windows 95 had a patch made, backported and issued for them.
