Surprise: the most important cloud storage services are under threat!

The security company "Imperva" revealed during its participation in the "Black Hat 2015" security conference in Las Vegas, USA, about a dangerous and important finding, which is the fact that the most important companies active in the field of cloud storage are in turn vulnerable to penetration through some of the vulnerabilities discovered.


The security company Imperva pointed to a dangerous common vulnerability between major cloud storage services around the world that enables them to penetrate it and thus expose users' data and files to danger. The most prominent technology for hackers in this context is "Man-in-the-middle" attacks. A "man-in-the-middle attack" by positioning between a user's machine and the servers of the company providing the cloud storage service.


This type of attack will enable hackers to obtain passwords and thus all user data that are stored in the cloud, control and leak them, and the interesting thing is that this type of attack mainly concerns major cloud storage services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and others. And this is what makes it called for to strengthen security standards further in the coming period.
