AWS S3 ‘Misconfiguration’ Opens Door to MITM Attacks

This article talks about the following: According to recent research, one of Amazon’s web service data storage has a security flaw and this has been identified as AWS’s Simple Storage Service or S3. The main reason for this is misconfiguration of the buckets enabling users to have public access. This has ultimately led to malicious attacks by 3rd parties.

It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future. Amazon has been one of the largest cloud and server providing companies in the world. That being said, how will the company prevent such irresponsible behaviour? Will it compromise by putting critical information across networks or theft of customer information in jeopardy? Or will it scrutinize their internal security server configuration to prevent Man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks?
