- akerl_ 1y agoBy "massive papertrail" do you mean "a pair of emails to the associated address"?
- oneplane 1y agoNo, a massive amount of CloudTrail logs.
- akerl_ 1y agoDoes it? Pretty sure that logging in as root generates one cloudtrail per action, regardless of whether or not you did it with a saved password or you reset the password. Resetting the password doesn't generate a cloudtrail event as far as I've seen.
