The motives for explanation 2 are currently not known. MBS might have had numerous reasons, ranging from WaPo or AWS. But regardless, there could have been many reasons to target Bezos. The part that doesn't sit right with me is the le

I think this is a disproportionately negative title compared to what actually happened, and solely for one word, "breach". My opinion is that it conveys something more serious than a bug. Thousands of secrets have been leaked on G

I briefly read through those leaked FB files, I think they're on NBC News. There was an email and other documents that showed they were thinking about opening a cloud offering multiple times, but it seems they never got round to launch

I'm laughing too. Its all opportunistic as Disney+ is hot on the news right now. Wait till they find out that these tools are cracking Hulu, Reddit etc etc, probably also the BBCs own site. And I guarantee the net is more than 4000 for
