T1102 · ATT&CK technique
Web Service
15 actors on record using it
Every mark is an actor ATT&CK records using this technique. Red ones also exploit a CVE in CISA KEV.
Open T1102 on attack.mitre.orgAdversaries may use an existing, legitimate external Web service as a means for relaying data to/from a compromised system. Popular websites, cloud services, and social media acting as a mechanism for C2 may give a significant amount of cover due to the likelihood that hosts within a network are already communicating with them prior to a compromise. Using common services, such as those offered by Google, Microsoft, or Twitter, makes it easier for adversaries to hide in expected noise. Web service providers commonly use SSL/TLS encryption, giving adversaries an added level of protection.
