Summary: This episode covered a variety of topics, including our Main Dive on the indictment of the Capital One hacker, Suzanne Thompson, some additional lawsuits that have been filed related to this case, one of which is against GitHub and Amazon and, most importantly, how the timing for any bad press related to Amazon’s AWS is not ideal. Amazon and Microsoft are the two finalists for the $10B DoD JEDI cloud infrastructure contract that is due to be awarded literally any day now. As such, any press, especially bad press as it relates to allegations of any nature about infrastructure security, is probably something that Amazon isn’t crazy about.
