From Compromised Keys to Phishing Campaigns: Inside a Cloud Email Service Takeover

Attackers gained access to a cloud email service through compromised credentials and used the compromised infrastructure to launch widespread phishing campaigns. The incident demonstrates how cloud email services are attractive targets for attackers seeking to amplify the reach and credibility of social engineering attacks.

Why it matters: Organizations using cloud email services face risk of account takeover and reputation damage if their credentials are exposed; security teams should audit credential exposure, enforce strong authentication, and monitor email services for unauthorized access and message sending.
