T1567.002: Exfiltration to Cloud Storage
| View on MITRE ATT&CK | T1567.002 |
|---|---|
| Tactic(s) | Exfiltration |
Data from MITRE ATT&CK®:
Adversaries may exfiltrate data to a cloud storage service rather than over their primary command and control channel. Cloud storage services allow for the storage, edit, and retrieval of data from a remote cloud storage server over the Internet.
Examples of cloud storage services include Dropbox and Google Docs. Exfiltration to these cloud storage services can provide a significant amount of cover to the adversary if hosts within the network are already communicating with the service.

How to detect this technique
MITRE ATT&CK Data Components
Command Execution (Command)
The execution of a line of text, potentially with arguments, created from program code (e.g. a cmdlet executed via powershell.exe, interactive commands like >dir, shell executions, etc. )File Access (File)
Opening a file, which makes the file contents available to the requestor (ex: Windows EID 4663)Network Traffic Flow (Network Traffic)
Summarized network packet data, with metrics, such as protocol headers and volume (ex: Netflow or Zeek http.log)Network Connection Creation (Network Traffic)
Initial construction of a network connection, such as capturing socket information with a source/destination IP and port(s) (ex: Windows EID 5156, Sysmon EID 3, or Zeek conn.log)Network Traffic Content (Network Traffic)
Logged network traffic data showing both protocol header and body values (ex: PCAP)Control Validation Tests for this Technique
