What was very advanced about those scripts?
As an outsider, I'd think that perhaps a very simple script might be enough to create hundreds of large instances.
- Mizoguchi 4y agoSure, but that was only one part of the attack and not the clever one. The ability to bypass security, even after following AWS support instructions is what made it so difficult to fight, to the point that only after AWS security team took over the case it did not stop. The problem is AWS security doesn't interact with customers directly (as far as I know), you have to go through tech support and these guys just don't have that level of knowledge.
