Attackers Say 'Hello' to a Different Scale of Cloud Attack

Researchers have identified an attack chain called Greeter, which is notable for the attackers' tactic of leaving "hello" messages in logs to cover their tracks. This behavior is a deliberate attempt by the attackers to obscure their activities. The Greeter attack chain represents a new scale of cloud attack. The name Greeter was chosen due to the presence of these messages in the logs. The discovery of Greeter suggests that attackers are continually evolving their methods to evade detection.
