Inside the attack chain: Azure Blob Storage threats

🔐 Microsoft Threat Intelligence analyzes how attackers target Azure Blob Storage across the full attack chain, emphasizing risks from exposed containers, compromised keys and SAS tokens, and abuse of automation such as Event Grid and Azure Functions. The blog maps these behaviors to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and illustrates tactics including data poisoning, covert C2 via metadata, and replication-based distribution. Microsoft recommends applying zero trust principles, enforcing least privilege with Microsoft Entra RBAC/ABAC, and enabling Defender for Storage with malware scanning, CSPM, and sensitive data discovery to detect, contain, and remediate storage-focused threats.
