Preventing One of The Largest Supply Chain Attacks in History

Explore a hypothetical but realistic supply chain attack scenario in this DEF CON 33 conference talk that examines how compromised AWS S3 buckets could enable a massive crypto worm attack affecting over 100 organizations worldwide. Learn about the anatomy of such an attack through the lens of a prevented incident where 5,155 abandoned S3 buckets were discovered and secured before they could be exploited. Discover how adversaries could leverage big data analysis and custom LLM agents to automate and scale these attacks to unprecedented levels. Examine nine concrete victim profiles and attack vectors through detailed case studies, while gaining statistical insights into the scope and potential impact of such threats. Understand the critical security implications of abandoned cloud resources and explore comprehensive remediation strategies that organizations can implement to eliminate these supply chain risks permanently.
