It's all about how the customer manages their security, though.

I wonder if the code repository could be implicated if it was where the credentials were leaked from? That seems like a tricky part of the question.

This reminds me of a practice question where the focus was on credential management. I think it leans towards the customer being at fault here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the cloud service provider should have some responsibility too, especially since they handle security regulations.

I'm a bit confused on this one. If the service is supposed to be secure, then how did the hacker get in? I'm not sure if I should blame the customer or the cloud provider. I'll have to review the details again before answering.

Okay, let's see. The customer deployed the code, so they're responsible for securing their own credentials. But the cloud provider is the one who launched the new service, so they might have some liability too. I'm leaning towards A, but I'll double-check my reasoning.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The question says the service is compliant with security regulations, so I'm wondering if the cloud provider might be responsible. I'll have to think this through a bit more.

This one seems pretty straightforward. The customer is responsible for securing their own credentials, so I'm going with A.

Definitely the hacker's fault. They're the ones who actually broke in and stole the credentials. The cloud service provider can't be held responsible for that.
