In this article, Ryan shared a few similarities found in the old cyberattack, usage of the same (and updated) tools to run over the web, and discovery of similar and old vulnerabilities many years ago but now over the cloud environment. It then explores how traditional security threats persist in cloud environments, emphasizing that many issues familiar with on-premises computing still prevail in cloud setups. It discusses common vulnerabilities in cloud systems, including insecure interfaces and misconfigured services, which can be exploited similarly to on-premise attacks. The blog also illustrates using tools like Shodan and (THC or The Hacker’s Choice) Hydra to identify and exploit these vulnerabilities. It encourages more vital security practices, such as robust password policies and multi-factor authentication, to defend against these threats.
