CLOUD

Now I'm try to understand more on cloud computing..still read, research and have to read more and more..

here the list security threats that become crucial in cloud:

Brute Force Attack : technique used to break passwords; it’s reliant on powerful computing capability because thousands of possible passwords are needed to be sent to a target user’s account until it finds the correct one to access.

Denial of Service (DoS) Attack : attempt to disrupt a host or network resource in order to make legitimate users unable to access the computer service.

Malware Injection Attacks: The two common forms are SQL injection attack and cross-site scripting attack.

SQL injections target SQL servers that run vulnerable database applications. Hackers exploit the vulnerabilities of web servers and inject a malicious code in order to bypass login and gain unauthorized access to backend databases

Cross-site scripting (XSS): Hackers inject malicious scripts, such as JavaScript, VBScript, ActiveX, HTML, and Flash, into a vulnerable dynamic web page to execute the scripts on victim’s web browser.

Other Threats:

Data Breaches (Malicious Insider, Online Cyber Theft)

Wrapping Attack

Shared technology issues

Data loss or leakage

Account or service hijacking
