OT. Amazonaws????

[Dean Hoffman]

My AVG Antivirus keeps blocking that. Good. Does the the Amazonaws have anything at all to do with the actual Amazon website?

I should think so. Amazon AWS (Amazon Web Services) is their cloud operation and i would think they'd eat their own dog food.

Not the essence, but something:

The "hotpatch" released by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in response to the Log4Shell vulnerabilities could be leveraged for container escape and privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to seize control of the underlying host.

"Aside from containers, unprivileged processes can also exploit the patch to escalate privileges and gain root code execution," Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researcher Yuval Avrahami said in a report published this week.

After what you said, I didn't want to go look directly, in casea my avg didn't work, but after this I did look at amazonaws.com and it redirected me to aws.amazon.com and it looks fine.

I'm glad I have even the free version of the AVG antivirus. It's apparently doing something. I just read that community phone charging stations like at airports can be a problem. Hackers have learned how to get into them and then into phones and such. That brings up the next question for a time down the road. Hackers getting into charging stations for EVs.

After what Amazon pull on Parlor, I am surprised anyone uses Amazon's AWS service.

[rbowman]

Most of them probably never heard of Parler. However some heavy users are finding it is less expensive to use your own hardware.

If AWS has demonstrated they will pull your service based on a political whim, you are at risk using their service.
