Cloud-focused malware campaigns on the increase

As commercial adoption of cloud technologies continues, cloud-focused malware campaigns have increased in both sophistication and number. A new report from Cado Security is based on analysis of real-world techniques employed by attackers using honeypot infrastructure. Last year Cado introduced 'Cloudypots', a new, more sophisticated, high-interaction honeypot system. Among the findings are that attackers are increasingly targeting services such as Docker, Redis, Kubernetes, and Jupyter, that require expert technical knowledge to exploit, different from that required for attacking generic Linux servers. Although cloud-focused attackers aim to exploit various services typically deployed in cloud environments, Docker remains the most frequently targeted… [Continue Reading]
