Background for this topic.
Amazon provides a large-scale cloud computing platform and an extensive e-commerce marketplace, both widely used across industries. Its cloud services offer infrastructure for hosting applications, storing data, and managing complex workflows, while its marketplace facilitates transactions between millions of buyers and sellers. These environments involve diverse user roles, APIs, and integrations with third-party services, creating multiple points of interaction and potential exposure.
Security risks include misconfigured cloud resources, such as storage buckets or access policies that unintentionally allow public or excessive permissions, leading to data exposure or unauthorized use. The e-commerce platform faces threats like account takeovers targeting customer or seller accounts, and fraud exploiting payment or order systems. Mitigating these risks requires strict identity and access management controls, continuous monitoring for unusual activity, and thorough validation of third-party components to prevent exploitation within Amazon’s complex ecosystem.

Researchers at Wiz found that a flaw in six popular AI coding assistants lets a booby-trapped code project quietly take control of a developer's computer. The assistant asks permission to edit one harmless-looking file, but the write lands on a sensitive one instead
The attacker exploited AI workflows, chained cloud weaknesses, and stolen credentials to extort a large Amazon customer.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says Amazon will pay a $2.25 million civil penalty to settle charges that it blocked identity theft victims' access to transaction records. [...]
Adversaries could plant a malicious repository that can execute arbitrary code and steal cloud credentials by exploiting the vulnerability, which showcases growing MCP risk.
Researchers warn many AI coding assistants now execute commands from project configurations
A high-severity flaw in Amazon Q Developer let a malicious repository run commands and steal a developer's cloud credentials. The path was short: a developer opens the repo, trusts the workspace, and Amazon Q does the rest. Amazon has patched it

Autonomous Remediation Tools AdvanceCloud computing mainstay Amazon Web Services has taken a look at the vulnerability apocalypse and pronounced it fit for a business opportunity. Today the Seattle company entered a new battleground of platforms with the launch of its new family of security agents that it calls Continuum.
Researchers uncovered a 230-node cloud-based email relay network after the actor PCPJack accidentally exposed tools, logs, and C2 files online A threat actor tracked as PCPJack compromised 230 cloud servers across Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure and turned them into a covert email relay network. Hunt.io researchers discovered the operation because PCPJack […]

Renegotiated Pact With Microsoft Clears OpenAI Path to Enterprise CloudsOpenAI has launched its models and tools on Amazon Web Services, one day after revising its agreement with Microsoft to end years of cloud exclusivity, a move likely driven by competitive pressure from Anthropic's hold on enterprise AWS customers.
Last week, Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, an AI model so effective at discovering software vulnerabilities that they took the extraordinary step of postponing its public release. Instead, the company has given access to Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and a coalition of others to find and patch bugs before adversaries can
Felicis-Led Series A Backs Telemetry Correlation Across Cloud, Identity, EndpointsArtemis, a New York startup led by former Amazon GuardDuty product leader Shachar Hirshberg, emerged from stealth with $70 million to build an AI-driven SIEM alternative that correlates telemetry across enterprise environments, tailors detections and speeds investigations.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) company Anthropic announced a new cybersecurity initiative called Project Glasswing that will use a preview version of its new frontier model, Claude Mythos, to find and address security vulnerabilities
A large-scale credential harvesting operation has been observed exploiting the React2Shell vulnerability as an initial infection vector to steal database credentials, SSH private keys, Amazon Web Services (AWS) secrets, shell command history, Stripe API keys, and GitHub tokens at scale
