google drive command and control

The tag 'google drive command and control' covers a specific cyberattack technique where threat actors abuse Google Drive and Google Sheets as a command-and-control channel for malware. The Nimbus RAT campaign, described in a WindowsForum thread, demonstrates this method: attackers used Microsoft Teams voice phishing and Windows Quick Assist to gain access, then deployed a Java-based remote access trojan that communicated through Google Drive and Google Sheets on infected Windows endpoints. This approach is notable because it leverages trusted collaboration platforms to evade detection, highlighting a growing challenge for Windows administrators in securing enterprise environments against such blended threats.
