From credentials to cloud admin in 8 minutes: AI supercharges AWS attack chain
Tags: access, ai, attack, ciso, cloud, credentials, detection, framework, group, iam, least-privilege, LLM, monitoring, trainingLateral movement, LLMjacking, and GPU abuse: Once administrative access was obtained, the attacker moved laterally across 19 distinct AWS principals, assuming multiple roles and creating new users to spread activity across identities. This approach enabled persistence and complicated detection, the researchers noted.The attackers then shifted focus to Amazon Bedrock, enumerating available models and confirming that…
