Microsoft Azure Being Used to Host Malware and C2 Servers

[Porthos]

Microsoft’s Azure cloud services have become an attractive option for cybercriminals to store malicious content. From phishing templates to malware and command and control services, it seems that crooks found a new place for them.

Just this month, BleepingComputer reported on two incidents related to malware on Azure. In one case there were about 200 websites showing tech-support scams that were hosted on the platform.

Another article, published this week, informs of Azure being used to host a phishing template for Office 365. Being both products from Microsoft, the scam appears as a legitimate login request, increasing the success rate.
