    Well, to amazon credit, they only offer cloud services. If government officials are dumb enough to store confidential documents in webservers without any authentication, it’s not Amazon’s fault (also, assuming you find real documents, the fact they are indexed by google, means that those links are also stored on publicly accessible pages, like forums or link directories, that’s the only legit way it can be found by google crawlers; that’s double dumb)

      It’s cheaper to use a platform as a service than it is to build your own distributed data centers around the world and hire thousands of engineers worldwide to maintain it. At the federal level, there can be requirements for FedRAMP or a restriction to federal equipment.

    Not classified. Wouldn’t surprise me if you could find improperly stored proprietary info if you scrolled long enough but not from the US gov. Maybe for some private company that didnt pay for an IT dept though. Also taking a look at the docs, they look fake as fuck.
