Could you elaborate on the concept of cryptojacking in the cloud? I'm particularly interested in understanding how it works and its implications. Specifically, I'd like to know if cryptojacking involves unauthorized access to cloud resources for the purpose of mining cryptocurrencies. I'm also curious about the potential risks it poses to both individuals and organizations, as well as the steps that can be taken to prevent and mitigate such attacks. Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
