this is why you should encrypt everything on cloud services at rest. S3? encrypted. SQS? encrypted. MSSQL? encrypted.
if you are a developer or SRE you need to make sure your apps are encrypted.
Sounds good until you remember that they keep trying to backdoor encryption. It’s asinine.
The only good thing the ~~Trump admin~~ JD Vance has done: UK will back down over its demands on Apple for an encryption backdoor
This isn’t the first time it’s come up. In EU too.
The UK government was also getting advice from its own cybersecurity people that the backdoor idea wasn't viable.
Vance deserves no credit for this or anything else.
How dare you suggest that having a publicly accessible, unencrypted database is not a best practice. The nerve.
/s in case the link didn’t make it obvious.
