It happened to us too.

There's no JVM (or log4j) in our environment, but we received this notification listing 6 instance IDs as having done DNS lookups to suspect domains.

No trace of those instance IDs in our account over the past few weeks, and after following up with a ticket we were told they're actually the instance IDs that sit underneath some fargate tasks (no info on what tasks or ECS service of course, because that would be sensible).

We've rechecked the bits of our stack that run on Fargate and confirmed there's definitely no JVM, so we figure it must be a false positive. Maybe DNS lookups to customer controlled hostnames (which we support as part of a feature, and sandbox carefully).
