Lesson 1: Anyone who knows the name of any of your S3 buckets can ramp up your AWS bill as they like.
Other than deleting the bucket, there’s nothing you can do to prevent it. Standard S3 PUT requests are priced at just $0.005 per 1,000 requests, but a single machine can easily execute thousands of such requests per second.
