How will you categorize a cybercrime that took place within a CSP's cloud environment?
A cybercrime that takes place within a CSP's cloud environment is best categorized as 'Cloud as a Subject.' This is because the crime is occurring within the cloud itself, targeting the cloud environment or resources directly. Examples include attempts to steal user identities, unauthorized data modification, or injecting malware within the cloud. These actions involve the cloud being the main area where the crime is executed, hence 'Cloud as a Subject.'
