Code Smell 263 - Squatting | HackerNoon
Briefly

Resource squatting occurs when attackers predict naming patterns of cloud resources such as S3 buckets and preemptively create them in unoccupied regions.
Predictable naming conventions can lead to substantial security breaches like data exposure, unauthorized access, and account takeovers, particularly in environments like AWS.
By using unique identifiers instead of deterministic naming patterns, cloud resources can be secured against unauthorized interactions and other vulnerabilities.
Automated tools and manual reviews are essential for identifying predictable naming patterns that could expose cloud resources to potential attackers.
