Abstract

The popularity of cloud computing has increased in recent years due to its many benefits. However, the rise in cloud service usage has also made it a prime target for cyber criminals aiming to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and disrupt operations. This research provides a comprehensive and detail review of cloud hacking and its impact on organizations and individuals. A systematic review approach was employed, which involved a comprehensive search of the relevant literature, including academic journals and conference proceedings. The study's findings present a thorough examination of the diverse methods, tools, and platforms employed by cyber criminals to hack into the cloud and suggest countermeasures that organizations can implement to safeguard themselves against such attacks. This study's findings have significant implications for cloud security and suggest recommendations for future research in this field.
