Right, but if amazon disables the bucket then don’t they lose contact with all the infected hosts? And anyway, I can’t imagine expecting a recurring charge like an AWS account to last too long on a stolen CC.
Along with the apparent lack of any actual payload, it seems to point to this being some kind of proof of concept.

They toss a stolen card on the account to verify it, which honestly most people won't question a $1 charge then refund from Amazon. They also had a backup hosted on Akamai.
