Thank you to everyone who brought this article to our attention. We agree that customers should not have to pay for unauthorized requests that they did not initiate. We’ll have more to share on exactly how we’ll help prevent these charges shortly. #AWS #S3 How an empty S3 bucket can make your AWS bill explode - medium.com/@maciej.pocwie…
BTW I think the same happens for other services like Cloudfront, API gateway, Lambda and the WAF, and probably a few more.
Thank you for addressing it so quickly!
I potentially encountered a similar issue with API Gateway: CORS preflight requests are sent by browsers without headers, so you can't put them under an API usage plan with an API key. So far, I couldn't find out whether I'd be charged for these requests or not.
