Account hijacking, also known as account takeover, is a serious cloud security threat that involves the disclosure, leakage, exposure, or compromise of critical cloud accounts. Hackers use various tactics, such as phishing, keylogging, cross-site scripting attacks, and brute force attacks, to steal user account credentials, potentially leading to data breaches and service disruptions. Financial service providers, including banks and insurers, are common targets for account hijacking due to the lure of financial gain or identity theft for money laundering. To mitigate this risk, organizations need to prioritize security measures such as strong authentication methods, employee training on identifying and preventing phishing attacks, and monitoring for suspicious activity in cloud accounts. This is critical for protecting sensitive data and ensuring business continuity.
