Is this stuff regularly happening to AWS and GCP? This is like the 3rd insane security incident from Microsoft in the past year.

Ok so it’s not Microsoft exposing Microsoft, but government exposing its S3 buckets.

The question should be — why is all that data and power concentrated in one place? Because of the capitalist system and Big Tech, or Big Government.

Personally I am rather happy when “top secret information” is exposed, because that I s the type of thing that harms people around the world more than it helps. The government wants to know who is sending you $600 but doesnt want to tell you how they spent trillions on shadowy “defense” contractors.
