I discovered thousands of open databases on AWS
I used to think you have to be pretty good af your job to get trusted to deploy stuff to the cloud for even medium sized companies. As these articles keep reminding me, you only need to fake competence to management to get the green light.<p>Even if you forget that the cloud is the internet and that the entire internet can reach you over the internet, it doesn't take a genius to set up a password for a cloud service. I have no idea how many of these databases are honey pots, but finding open and vulnerable servers is depressingly simple.<p>I suppose it's kind of liberating to know that you can be dumb enough to fling patient data into an unprotected cloud server and still get a job in IT. The bar is really set that low.
