  • Suspicious heavy allocation of compute resources - possible mining activity Medium Cloud 3 variations

    An identity allocated an unusual heavy compute resource, suspected as mining activity. Heavy machines normally have a high amount of CPU cores or attached with GPU, which are targeted by adversaries to mine Cryptocurrency.

    Required data: AWS Audit Log Azure Audit Log Gcp Audit Log
    Attacker's goals: Leverage cloud compute resources to earn virtual currency.
    Investigative actions: Check the identity created resources and its legitimacy. Look for any unusual behavior originated from the suspected identity, and check if they're compromised, e.g. access key, service account, etc.
