Hackers target exposed Vite dev servers to steal AWS, Azure secrets

A mass-scanning campaign is targeting internet-exposed Vite development servers to extract cloud credentials and configurations from AWS and Azure deployments. Attackers scan for misconfigured or unprotected development instances accessible over the internet and attempt to harvest credentials and sensitive settings.

Why it matters: Development teams and cloud platform users are at risk if Vite dev servers are exposed publicly; compromised AWS and Azure credentials enable unauthorized access to production environments and data.
