Did you actually read what you linked? Alibaba cloud wasn't breached, one of the tens of thousands of Alibaba cloud customers had a database exposed to the internet. Same happens with AWS and Azure all the time.

It really doesn't matter and there is little difference in that event or whatever the security researcher and I meant.

  They just host your servers, not own your servers. Check [0]. They could give you recommendations, but they cannot stop you from killing yourself. > It really doesn't matter and there is little difference in that event or whatever the security researcher and I meant. It does matter. If you setup an unprotected server on AWS and someone hacked it. It is your fault, not AWS.

    You have misread the point of my comment. I already know it is a breach, the GP commenter was hairsplitting and the difference in my comment is negligible and is the same as what the security researcher and the statement of the breach was. > It does matter. If you setup an unprotected server on AWS and someone hacked it. It is your fault, not AWS. Indeed it does matter. Whoever owns the server got breached and that is that. But I didn't say the breach didn't matter. I said the difference in where it got breached doesn't matter.

  A random Alibaba Cloud customer got breached. You tried to make it sound like Alibaba Cloud was breached. In reality this has nothing to do with either Alibaba Cloud nor Tiktok.
