DataDog’s research did not find any successful attempts to steal data. However, the fact that many AWS resources were being identified suggests that there might be a deliberate and potentially large-scale operation happening.

While DataDog’s research did not observe successful data exfiltration attempts, the widespread enumeration of AWS resources suggests a calculated and potentially large-scale operation. The attackers may be assessing the value of available data before initiating exfiltration or testing the level of access they possess for potential resale in underground markets.
