Security Issues
While AWS products promise amplified security and long-term storage, recent news about Capital One data breach was linked to Amazon’s cloud services.
In a massive attack happened last March 2019, personal details of roughly 100 million customers of the Capital One were accessed and stolen via a misconfigured firewall. Social security numbers, unique names, addresses, and credit card numbers were part of the stolen data from the data breach incident.
Amazon has distanced itself with the issue, saying Capital One is responsible for the attack because of their own applications. CEO Jeff Bezos even said that there is no strong evidence showing that Amazon’s cloud service is to be blamed for the incident.
Web services spokesperson said, “AWS was not compromised in any way and functioned as designed. The perpetrator gained access through a misconfiguration of the web application and no underlying cloud-based infrastructure.”
In the website of amazon, it is stressed out that customers have full ownership and control over their personal data and how they want these to be stored. In the site, it is indicated that ‘You [customers] choose how the content is secured.’
A 33-year-old suspect was arrested in relation to the data breach incident.
