S3 Stupidity     Much bucket. Many stupids.

Time Warner Cable Loses 4 million Subscriber Records

Date Tue 05 September 2017 Tags s3 / aws / dumb / security / timewarnercable

Time Warner Cable, a company you think might be fairly schooled on the dangers of the Internet. However, it seems they were caught out when a contractor failed to properly secure an S3 bucket. Caught out to the tune of seven year’s worth of subscriber data. You can find more detail at The Register.

Be secure out there!
