Risky Bulletin: AWS kills bucketsquatting
Amazon Web Services introduced a security feature to mitigate S3 bucket namesquatting attacks, where attackers register expired or deleted buckets with predictable names to intercept traffic and collect sensitive data. The technique, documented since 2019, exploits naming conventions to target organizations whose traffic still routes to abandoned buckets.
Why it matters: AWS customers using S3 buckets face exposure to data interception if traffic continues flowing to expired or deleted buckets; enabling this feature reduces the window for attackers to claim and abuse namesquatted buckets.
