SentinelOne researchers disclosed FBot, a Python-based cloud hacking tool used to harvest credentials and hijack SaaS/cloud accounts (including AWS, Microsoft 365, PayPal, SendGrid and Twilio). FBot can generate API keys, check AWS SES and EC2 quotas, extract Laravel environment credentials, validate PayPal accounts via a third-party site, and appears in samples from July 2022 through January 2024, indicating active use and potential monetization by selling access.
