The most common attacks associated with cloud computing are:  Data breaches can occur when unauthorised users gain access to sensitive information stored in the cloud. This can happen due to weak passwords, unpatched software vulnerabilities or insider threats.  Malware attacks can infect cloud infrastructure and compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. Malware can spread through phishing emails, unpatched software vulnerabilities or infected software.  Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks overload cloud servers with traffic, making them inaccessible to legitimate users. This can happen due to vulnerabilities in the cloud infrastructure, unsecured APIs or compromised credentials.
