NOTE: This article originally appeared on LinkedIn.

By now, I’m sure most of you have seen the recent [article on TechCrunch related to public EBS snapshots.] (https://techcrunch.com/2019/08/09/aws-ebs-cloud-backups-leak/) If you haven’t let me sum it up for you - like S3 if you do silly things, your data may end up in the wrong hands.

In the article, the security researcher - Ben Morris - estimates that there “…could be as many as 1,250 exposures across all Amazon cloud regions.”
