You know that AWS is frequently used as (and has an entire product for use as) a CDN, right?

using s3 as a cdn is a complete different thing than leaking intentionally credentials.
He "leaked" credentials which only allow reading, which makes it effectively the same thing as a CDN, except that instead of needing a URL, you need a tuple of URL and access token.
