👉 The "cloudy weapon" refers to a term often used in cybersecurity, particularly in the context of advanced persistent threats (APTs) or sophisticated malware. It describes a type of malicious software that disguises itself as legitimate, cloud-based services or tools to evade detection by traditional security measures. These "cloudy" weapons can mimic the appearance of trusted cloud services, making them appear benign and blending in with normal network traffic. By doing so, they can infiltrate systems, exfiltrate sensitive data, or establish persistent access without raising immediate alarms. This stealthy approach makes them particularly dangerous as they can remain undetected for extended periods, allowing attackers to achieve their objectives quietly and efficiently.
