Ghost Credentials Expose Cloud Systems to Hidden Identity Risks
Security researcher Aleksandr Krasnov has identified risks posed by dormant non-human identities (NHI) that can remain hidden in cloud systems and create security blind spots. The researcher released NHI Hound, an open source tool designed to discover and map trust paths associated with these identities. The research highlights how inactive service accounts and other non-human entities can become overlooked vectors for unauthorized access.
Why it matters: Cloud practitioners need to audit non-human identities across their infrastructure today, as dormant accounts represent unmonitored attack surface that existing tools may not detect.
