The attackers behind Cloud Hopper were able to get hold of security credentials by sending spoof emails to workers at cloud businesses. They then leveraged the access these “spear-phishing” attacks gave them to install malware that let them steal security credentials and conduct reconnaissance

Selected Answer: C

Cloud Attacks: Cloud Hopper Attack Cloud hopper attacks are triggered at managed service providers (MSPs) and their customers. Once the attack is successfully implemented, attackers can gain remote access to the intellectual property and critical information of the target MSP and its global users/customers. Attackers initiate spear-phishing emails with custom-made malware to compromise the accounts of staff or cloud service firms to obtain confidential information. (P.2903/2887)

Cloud hopper attacks are triggered at managed service providers (MSPs) and their customers. Once the attack is successfully implemented, attackers can gain remote access to the intellectual property and critical information of the target MSP and its global users/customers. Attackers also move laterally in the network from one system to another in the cloud environment to gain further access to sensitive data pertaining to the industrial entities, such as manufacturing, government bodies, healthcare, and finance.
