Bucketsquatting is (Finally) Dead – One Cloud Please

For a decade, I have been working with AWS and third-party security teams to resolve bucketsquatting / bucketsniping issues in AWS S3. Finally, I am happy to say AWS now has a solution to the problem, and it changes the way you should name your buckets.

Attached: 1 image Yesterday we saw the most _new_ NPM packages being released in the last 12 months, at 2804 packages. Pretty steady upward trajectory here, unlike we've ever seen. This graph is spiky because it's daily data and weekends are lower.

Gotta give it to Claude Code developers: they are exceptionally brave. I would’ve been straight up embarrassed to show stats like this.

Reminder: Claude Code is a thin CLI client that reads input from your terminal, sends it to Antrhopic servers and prints back the response.
