The hacking group Crimson Collective, after breaching Red Hat and stealing 570GB of data, now targets AWS environments using tools like TruffleHog to exploit leaked credentials, escalate privileges, and exfiltrate data from RDS and EBS for extortion. This evolution highlights the need for robust cloud security measures, including MFA and regular audits.
Confidential computing traditionally relies on vendor-specific hardware like Intel TDX and AMD SNP for remote attestation, leading to lock-in and interoperability issues. A new TPM-based method combines hardware-agnostic trust with CPU data, enabling portable, scalable security. This approach promises vendor-neutral solutions, fostering innovation in cloud environments.
