- AWS, Google Cloud and Azure have all been busy last few weeks fixing and patching Vulberabilities. In addition to Azure’s OMIGOD flaws which we covered in last week’s episode, Google Cloud reported that some of their load balancers were routing to an Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) enabled Backend Service which could have been vulnerable to an untrusted party. Google Cloud have confirmed that this issue has been resolved.
- For organisations and enterprises cloud is about improved flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. For cybercriminals, Cloud is an environment filled with poorly secured enterprise data, applications, and online assets. IBM in their recently released Security X-Force Cloud Threat Landscape Report highlight increased attacker interest in the thriving black market for stolen credentials used to access enterprise accounts and resources on public cloud platforms. IBM X-Force discovered about 30,000 cloud credentials potentially available for sale on Dark Web and Prices for these credentials ranged from a few dollars to more than $15,000 per credential, based on the level of access and the amount of credit associated with an account.
