The third threat rising from the shadows is the malicious use of cloud services. Sophisticated cybercriminals can exploit cloud platforms for multiple purposes, including launching attacks on other systems, propagating malware, or hosting illegal content.

Maintaining security measures like IP blacklisting, filtering, and anomaly detection tools can help identify and stop these malevolent activities. Furthermore, user education about the risks associated with compromising their login credentials and the importance of strong passwords would serve as added preventive measures.
