Cyber Cаse Scenаriо - Clоud Miscоnfigurаtion and the Capital One Breach In 2019, Capital One disclosed a major data breach that exposed personal information for over 100 million individuals. The incident did not involve breaking cloud infrastructure itself, but rather exploiting a misconfigured cloud environment running on virtualized infrastructure provided by a cloud service provider. Capital One used cloud computing services built on virtualization, where multiple virtual machines and services shared underlying physical hardware. While the cloud provider was responsible for securing the physical infrastructure and hypervisor layer, Capital One was responsible for configuring access controls, permissions, and network security settings within its virtual environment. An attacker exploited a misconfigured firewall and overly permissive access controls associated with a virtualized server. This allowed unauthorized access to cloud-hosted storage containing sensitive customer data. Because the attacker gained access through legitimate cloud interfaces, the breach bypassed traditional security defenses. The attack demonstrated that virtualization isolation alone is not enough to guarantee security. Although virtual machines were isolated from one another at the hypervisor level, weak configuration of identity and access management (IAM) permissions allowed the attacker to move within the cloud environment and extract data at scale. This incident highlighted the importance of the shared responsibility model in cloud computing. While cloud providers secure the underlying virtualization platform, customers must properly configure virtual machines, storage access, network rules, and monitoring tools. Failure to do so can turn the flexibility and scalability of cloud computing into a significant security risk. The Capital One breach reinforced a key Chapter 7 concept: virtualization and cloud technologies are powerful, but security depends heavily on correct configuration, isolation, and access control. Cloud environments are not inherently insecure—but misconfigured virtual resources can expose vast amounts of data with a single mistake.
