This brief piece discusses the concept of "Living‑Off‑Trusted‑Services" (LOTS), explaining that attackers increasingly abuse legitimate services (such as cloud storage, CDNs, and legitimate domains) for phishing, malware distribution, and botnet hosting; it highlights Spamhaus’s 'abused legit' DBL listing as a response and notes the evolution of LOTS from niche to common criminal practice.
