Dear All,
A massive database of over 1,200 unique Amazon Web Services (AWS) access keys has been amassed and exploited in a ransomware campaign. Administrators of exposed AWS S3 buckets are finding their files encrypted except for a ransom note demanding payment in bitcoin.
Security researchers discovered a publicly accessible server containing over 158 million AWS secret key records. Most of the keys were duplicate entries replicated across different regional endpoints and configurations.
