Wasn't this a private S3 bucket and she somehow hacked permission access? Anyone know the full details of how this came to happen?

As for mitigation, does S3 encryption happen at the user access level (GET) or S3 system level. Basically, does each GET call pass in the decryption key? This means an attacker needs another piece of information. More encryption wouldn't hurt here. This goes for Equifax too.
