AWS SNS Abuse: Data Exfiltration and Phishing

A security team built detection capabilities by analyzing publicly documented Amazon Web Services Simple Notification Service (AWS SNS) abuse cases and their own data sources. The work focused on identifying patterns used for data exfiltration and phishing attacks.

Why it matters: Organizations using AWS SNS may be exposed to abuse if they do not monitor for unauthorized service access or suspicious message patterns; practitioners should review SNS resource policies and enable CloudTrail logging to detect similar activity.
