Amazon Web Services 'was not compromised in any way and functioned as designed,' the firm told Newsweek. Capital One said a breach impacted 100 million individuals in the U.S. and six million people
Amazon has always stressed that AWS provides its clients with full"ownership and control" of how they store—and protect—personal or sensitive information. It claims to offer"sophisticated technical and physical controls" that are designed to help combat any unauthorized access.
Indeed, in many cases AWS data exposures are not the result of technical hacking tricks. In the Attunity case, for example, the files were public and visible in plain text, Bloomberg noted. In the 2017 election leak, cyber researchers said the files were not protected by a password. A criminal complaint said Thompson, who formerly worked at Amazon, had threatened to distribute data obtained from the bank. The suspect allegedly wrote during a Slack conversation in June:"I've basically strapped myself with a bomb vest, fucking dropping capital ones dox and admitting it. I wanna distribute those buckets I think first." She said files contained social security numbers, full names and dates of birth.
Officials said leaked Capital One data was initially uploaded to a code repository website known as GitHub, prompting an individual to bring it to administrators' attention on July 17.

Amazon Cancels 'Forever' After One SeasonAccording to Vulture, Amazon has canceled Forever, a wonderfully surrealist show about imperfect soulmates reconnecting in death, after just one season. I really enjoyed Forever (and wrote about it here), specifically for its secular meditations on what happens when we die and the seemingly unending sensation of grief, plus hedonistic ghosts and other ghoulish supernaturalism. Fred Armisen (Oscar) and Maya Rudolph (June) were wonderful as the show’s central couple. I’ll miss those characters, but I’m totally cool with Forever kicking the bucket after eight glorious episodes.
