Researchers Urge Organizations to Rotate Credentials and Review Audit LogsThreat actor 888 claims it stole Accenture source code and cloud credentials, prompting researchers to warn that any exposed Azure tokens, encryption keys or DevOps secrets could enable follow-on intrusions and downstream supply-chain attacks even as Accenture says operations remain unaffected.

19.6 Billion files are exposed in misconfigured cloud buckets, including 685K credential files and nearly 1M database dumps. There’s a comfortable myth most people carry around: that the data they hand to companies is locked somewhere safe. Researchers at Mysterium VPN just ran the numbers, and the numbers disagree. Across 535,480 publicly listable cloud storage […]

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new credential theft framework dubbed PCPJack that targets exposed cloud infrastructure and ousts any artifacts linked to TeamPCP from the environments

Not every cloud breach starts with malware or a zero-day. In this incident, attackers discovered an exposed Spring Boot Actuator endpoint, harvested credentials from leaked configuration data, then used the OAuth2 Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC) flow to authenticate without MFA.

Lawsuit Claims SonicWall Cloud Backup Flaw Led to Ransomware Attack Against MarquisMarquis Software Solutions has sued SonicWall alleging a cloud backup data breach exposed firewall configuration files, including credentials and multifactor authentication scratch codes. The firm says the breach enabled an August 2025 ransomware attack and triggered dozens of class action lawsuits.

Leaked non-human identities like API keys and tokens are becoming a major breach driver in cloud environments. Flare shows how exposed machine credentials quietly grant attackers long-term access to enterprise systems. [...]

In December 2024, the popular Ultralytics AI library was compromised, installing malicious code that hijacked system resources for cryptocurrency mining. In August 2025, malicious Nx packages leaked 2,349 GitHub, cloud, and AI credentials. Throughout 2024, ChatGPT vulnerabilities allowed unauthorized extraction of user data from AI memory

Attackers Exploit Cloud Credential Exposure and 'Over-Permissioning,' Experts WarnAttackers keep hammering cloud-based identities to help them bypass endpoint and network defenses, logging in using inadvertently exposed credentials - or ones harvested through infostealers - then escalating access thanks to over-permissioned accounts, experts warn.

We discovered Azure Storage Account credentials exposed in Axis Communications’ Autodesk Revit plugin, allowing unauthorized modification of cloud-hosted files. This exposure, combined with vulnerabilities in Autodesk Revit, could enable supply-chain attacks targeting end users.

Trend™ Research’s analysis of Wondershare RepairIt reveals how the AI-driven app exposed sensitive user data due to unsecure cloud storage practices and hardcoded credentials, creating risks of model tampering and supply chain attacks.

SonicWall is urging customers to reset credentials after their firewall configuration backup files were exposed in a security breach impacting MySonicWall accounts

In this type of misconfiguration, cyberattackers could use exposed secrets to authenticate directly via Microsoft’s OAuth 2.0 endpoints and infiltrate Azure cloud environments.

Threat Actor 'Codefinger' Targets Cloud EnvironmentsA ransomware group is targeting Amazon S3 buckets, exploiting the data stored there using AWS’s server-side encryption with customer keys and demanding a ransom in exchange for the encryption key needed to unlock the data.
