Researchers just scratching surface of their understanding of campaign dating back to 2020
Given the name"EleKtra-Leak" by researchers at Palo Alto Networks's Unit 42, the criminals behind the campaign are credited with regularly stealing AWS credentials within five minutes of them being exposed in GitHub repositories.
"We believe the threat actor might be able to find exposed AWS keys that aren't automatically detected by AWS and subsequently control these keys outside of the"According to our evidence, they likely did. In that case, the threat actor could proceed with the attack with no policy interfering with their malicious actions to steal resources from the victims.
"Despite successful AWS quarantine policies, the campaign maintains continuous fluctuation in the number and frequency of compromised victim accounts," the researchers said. "This indicates that the actor is successfully able to obscure their identity while launching automated attacks against AWS account environments."Google Drive hosts the malicious mining payload. Using legitimate services is a tactic increasingly adopted by attackers due to the protections they afford. In Google Drive's case, the platform's URLs are anonymous and can't be linked back to a specific Google Account.
