And then what?


Send targeted phishing mails.


Our company got hit with this. I guess there's no way to recover from this other than do our best to block these.


How does knowing the AWS username allow you to send a more effective phishing email? Especially if the username is just the user's... name. That's public info.


I can already do that by sending them for root. This seems like trying to make something out of nothing.


Are you stuck in the 70s or something? I can't recall the last time I read email addressed to root.


My friend, the main AWS account is called the root account and its username is root, so your zinger didn't zing.
