I always recommend using random strings for bucket names. If you want/need it to be human readable then use a random suffix instead.

The article is from April 2024, and AWS announced it would stop stopped charging the account owner for bad/unauthorized requests to S3 as of May 2024.

It's been a year. Has it been disclosed what tool had this misconfiguration?

One of the items off the Serverless Horrors submission from today.

https://serverlesshorrors.com/all/aws-13k/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45157110

As noted in comments, AWS no longer charges for bad/unarhorized requests. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/08/amazon-s3...

The Serverless Horrors submission has some pretty amazing scenarios in it. Truly scary surprises!

It's simple - stop using AWS ... or Azure ... or ... Follow DHH and learn to manage your own boxes.

TLDR: any kind of usage based billing, where you don't control the usage, will have issues of cost explosions. It doesn't matter much what it is exactly.

Get your own machines. Get colo instead of cloud.
