Another multi-thousand getting caught in a huge problem

Hello,

500,000 victims pummeled in multi-stage BitBucket malware scheme is the article this time. In this article, some malware writer is sending out something that includes 7 different types of attack vecters including ransomware. This is very sophistocated, and I don’t even think the best defense in software could be prepared to handle such an attack on any one individual.

The article talks about how storage platforms like Dropbox, Github, google drive, and others can be used by criminals to store files, and even send out their wares through their platforms legitimently because its a link to the service used.

This article is quite interesting, and I’m wondering how we can combat this type of thing?

Your thoughts are welcome.
