Cloud computing offers users scalable platforms and low resource cost. At the same time, the off-site location of the resources of this service model makes it more vulnerable to certain types of adversarial actions. Cloud computing has not only gained major user base, but also, it has the features that attackers can leverage to remain anonymous and stealth. With convenient access to data and technology, cloud has turned into an attack platform among other utilization. This paper reports our study to show that cyber attackers heavily abuse the public cloud platforms to setup their attack environments and launch stealth attacks. The paper first reviews types of attacks launched through cloud environment. It then reports case studies through which the processes of launching cyber attacks using clouds are demonstrated.
