cloud exploitation

Cloud exploitation refers to the use of cloud computing platforms for malicious purposes, including cyber attacks and coordination of military operations. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight allegations that Russia has used major cloud providers like AWS and Microsoft Azure to coordinate missile strikes in Ukraine. Additionally, advisories from U.S. agencies detail how Russian state-sponsored actors (APT29) exploit cloud environments for intelligence gathering, targeting government and policy organizations. These threads emphasize the growing role of cloud infrastructure in modern cyber warfare and the need for robust security practices to defend against such threats.
