My understanding is that the Capital One breach didn't involve any secret information known only to Amazon employees. CapOne had a misconfigured firewall and allowed public internet traffic to servers which were not hardened and got compromised. The person behind the breach happens to have previously worked at Amazon, but it wasn't a rogue Amazon employee breaching an AWS customer.
