Hi All
According to the VMware 2022 report, Linux is now fast becoming the preferred target in order to attack Cloud based systems.

It appears that Linux systems are becoming a target via Ransomware attacks.

Only makes sense that as tools for interoperability are developed that the hackers/crackers would leverage them.
Thanks for the article.

@Clay498 Unfortunately from my research, quickly dancing my fingers across the keyboard - ransomware can attack and access cloud storage:

https://www.zdnet.com/article/ransomware-victims-thought-their-backups-were-safe-they-were-wrong/
https://techmonitor.ai/technology/cybersecurity/ransomcloud
https://spinbackup.com/blog/is-cloud-storage-safe-from-ransomware/
Plus of course every vendor has a solution, including processes, encryption and incremental backups etc.
But if there is a weakness, then the growing sophistication of ransomware attackers, will find a hole in the Armour somewhere.
Unfortunately the answer, cloud storage, if it is not protected, or the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) does not commit to their Shared Responsibility Model.
I even looked up the AWS secure services and they have produced a book on the matter:
