Threat of Attacks Due to the Lack of Security in Environments
Cloud Malware:
Once Cybercriminals have gained access to your admin accounts within your environment, they also can gain access to other services such as SaaS, PaaS or your virtual machines. The attacker can then create malicious activity such as manipulation or stealing data. Other common forms are malware injection through cross site scripting, SQL injection or other malicious scripts.
Phishing Attacks:
Phishing attacks are fraudulent communications that appear to come from a trustworthy source, usually through email, which can compromise all types of data sources. The goal is to steal sensitive data like credit card and login information or to install malware on the victim's machine.
Brute Force & Password Spray:
Brute Force Attacks
Cyber criminals use brute force attacks to gain unauthorized access to single accounts. This is a password cracking method to determine account credentials by using trial and error.
Password Spray is when attackers target a large volume of people/accounts and spend less time on one single account. Attackers would normally purchase users' names via the dark web.

Cryptojacking
Cryptojacking also known as malicious Cryptomining, comes when an online threat hides on a computer, mobile device or resource group and uses the machine resources to "mine" forms of online currency known as cryptocurrencies. The common cases of how an attack happens is through an accidental click on a link that loads a code onto your machine.
