In the fast-paced world of the internet, some not-so-nice people have figured out a sneaky way to use good tools for bad things. Imagine there is a big, fluffy cloud up in the sky that lots of people use to store their stuff, like pictures and important documents. Now, what if someone took a piece of that cloud, hid their not-so-good stuff in it, and then quietly moved it around so no one could find them? That’s kind of what’s happening in the digital world.
A group called Funnull CDN has been renting spaces from cloud services that we all know and trust, like the ones that Amazon and Microsoft offer. But instead of using these spaces to keep their family photos or work files, they’re using them to hide websites that do illegal things. They keep moving these websites to different spots in the cloud, kind of like a shell game where you try to guess which shell the pea is under.
You see, because these cloud services are trusted by everyone, the bad guys can blend in more easily. It’s like wearing a disguise at a costume party; no one knows who’s behind the mask. And just when someone figures out where the bad stuff is hiding, Funnull CDN has already packed up and moved to a new cloud spot.
This is a headache for the good guys – the cyber-defenders. These are the people and companies that try to keep the internet safe for everyone. They’re always on the lookout for these sneaky tricks, but it’s tough to keep up when the bad guys are constantly on the move and using the cloud’s good name as a cover.
