Amazon doesn't do SSD VMs for $5 a month... If you are beginner you are using the Web GUI which clearly states you need to click the box to securely wipe all the data (which has a cost associated with it) if you are using the API then you should RTFM (Read the F Manual) if you build a service on top of the API then it is the service's fault for not including (which is what the gist is about)

Nothing in that web GUI "clearly states" that not ticking the box will allow the next random user to read my files.
- kolev 13y agoWell, I don't think they want to advertise themselves as "the subpar service that doesn't honor privacy and trade secrets for just $5 per month". Again, ToS and manuals are legal safeguards, not moral ones.
- mikeash 13y agoThe opposite of "securely wipe all the data" is not "give all of your data to the next customer". The GUI does not indicate anywhere that data is leaked if you don't check the box.
