Exfiltration Over Web Service: Exfiltration to Cloud Storage

ID Name
T1567.001 Exfiltration to Code Repository
T1567.002 Exfiltration to Cloud Storage

Adversaries may exfiltrate data to a cloud storage service rather than over their primary command and control channel. Cloud storage services allow for the storage, edit, and retrieval of data from a remote cloud storage server over the Internet.

Examples of cloud storage services include Dropbox and Google Docs. Exfiltration to these cloud storage services can provide a significant amount of cover to the adversary if hosts within the network are already communicating with the service.

Angreifer können Daten zu einem Cloud-Speicherdienst exfiltrieren, anstatt über ihren primären Befehls- und Kontrollkanal. Cloud-Speicherdienste ermöglichen das Speichern, Bearbeiten und Abrufen von Daten von einem entfernten Cloud-Speicher-Server über das Internet.

Beispiele für Cloud-Speicherdienste sind Dropbox und Google Docs. Die Exfiltration zu diesen Cloud-Speicherdiensten kann dem Angreifer eine erhebliche Deckung bieten, wenn Hosts innerhalb des Netzwerks bereits mit dem Dienst kommunizieren.

Les adversaires peuvent exfiltrer des données vers un service de stockage en nuage plutôt que sur leur canal principal de commande et de contrôle. Les services de stockage en nuage permettent de stocker, de modifier et de récupérer des données à partir d'un serveur de stockage en nuage distant sur Internet.

Dropbox et Google Docs sont des exemples de services de stockage en nuage. L'exfiltration vers ces services de stockage en nuage peut fournir une couverture importante à l'adversaire si les hôtes du réseau communiquent déjà avec le service.

Gli avversari possono esfiltrare i dati su un servizio di cloud storage piuttosto che sul loro canale primario di comando e controllo. I servizi di cloud storage permettono di archiviare, modificare e recuperare dati da un server remoto di cloud storage su Internet.

Esempi di servizi di cloud storage includono Dropbox e Google Docs. L'esfiltrazione a questi servizi di cloud storage può fornire una quantità significativa di copertura all'avversario se gli host all'interno della rete stanno già comunicando con il servizio.

Network Traffic Flow

Analyze network data for uncommon data flows (e.g., a client sending significantly more data than it receives from a server) to known cloud storage services. Processes utilizing the network that do not normally have network communication or have never been seen before are suspicious. User behavior monitoring may help to detect abnormal patterns of activity.

Analysieren Sie die Netzwerkdaten auf ungewöhnliche Datenströme (z.B. ein Client, der deutlich mehr Daten sendet als er von einem Server empfängt) zu bekannten Cloud-Speicherdiensten. Prozesse, die das Netzwerk nutzen, die normalerweise keine Netzwerkkommunikation haben oder noch nie gesehen wurden, sind verdächtig. Die Überwachung des Benutzerverhaltens kann helfen, abnormale Aktivitätsmuster zu erkennen.

Analysez les données du réseau pour détecter les flux de données inhabituels (par exemple, un client qui envoie beaucoup plus de données qu'il n'en reçoit d'un serveur) vers des services de stockage en nuage connus. Les processus utilisant le réseau qui n'ont pas de communication réseau normale ou qui n'ont jamais été vus auparavant sont suspects. La surveillance du comportement des utilisateurs peut aider à détecter des modèles d'activité anormaux.

Analizzi i dati di rete alla ricerca di flussi di dati insoliti (ad esempio, un cliente che invia molti più dati di quanti ne riceva da un server) verso servizi di cloud storage conosciuti. I processi che utilizzano la rete che normalmente non hanno comunicazioni in rete o che non sono mai stati visti prima sono sospetti. Il monitoraggio del comportamento degli utenti può aiutare a rilevare modelli di attività anormali.
