Aqua noted that hackers have been improving their intrusion methods, including malware. They are now using more sophisticated techniques to attack servers which makes it almost impossible to be spotted using a signature-based security system, or through static analysis.
Head of Team Nautilus at Aqua, Idan Revivo, commented:
The attacks we observed are a significant step up in attacks targeting cloud native infrastructure. We expect a further increase in sophistication, the use of evasion techniques, and diversity of the attack vectors and objectives, since the widespread use of cloud native technologies makes them a more lucrative target for bad actors.
Security experts have been advised to step up their measures to intercept such attacks
