Two hacker groups, known as the Nemesis and ShinyHunters, have been very busy searching for weaknesses in cloud systems held by millions of businesses. These villains of the virtual world use their tech skills to find the tiniest cracks in security to sneak in and take valuable information. The goal? Often it’s to create chaos or for their own illegal gains.
But here’s an interesting twist: these meticulous hackers made a big mistake in their own cloud setup. This slip-up left a door open for cyber security sleuths to discover what they were up to—you could say the hunters became the hunted!
It just goes to show that no one is perfect, not even the bad guys trying to cause trouble on the internet. The tiny mistake by these hackers revealed a huge operation aimed at finding and exploiting cloud-based systems that weren’t fully protected.
