    ATT&CK techniques: Resource Hijacking (T1496) Valid Accounts (T1078)
    Required data: AWS Audit Log Gcp Audit Log
    Attacker's goals: Leverage cloud compute resources to generate virtual currency.
    Investigative actions: Verify that the identity creating the resources is legitimate. Check for unusual behavior from this identity, including potential compromise (e.g., exposed access keys or service accounts).
