Two days later, I checked my AWS billing page... My bill was over $1,300, with the billing console showing nearly 100,000,000 S3 PUT requests executed within just one day!," Pocwierz said.
Even though these requests were denied, Pocwierz was still charged by AWS and he reportedly received a message from the firm at the time describing this as "expected behavior".
Wow. That all sounds pretty painful, and I'm surprised AWS doesn't have a process in place to tackle this scenario," wrote another to Reddit.
Amazon S3 will make a change so unauthorized requests that customers did not initiate are free.
