Hundreds of exposed Amazon cloud backups found leaking sensitive data
I've been working almost exclusively in the AWS space for about 10 years now.  Clients anywhere from tiny little three-person consultancies to Fortune 100.  Commercial, govcloud, dozens of clients.Never once have I ever found a use case for making public EBS snapshots.Who on Earth is thinking that it is a good idea to take an EBS snapshot and make it public?Note, several of those engagements did involve multiple accounts, and the need to share / copy AMIs and/or snapshots between accounts.  But never making them public.
