this is why everything gets logged to an S3 bucket under an AWS account that has only write permissions and three people are required to break into the account that can do anything else with that bucket. I don't know if that's what Cox has, but that's how it's architect it to be able to claim there's no history of abuse.


That's how it should be architected, but the article shows that Cox's network gives no thought to security so it's unlikely how it is architected. Even if the Cox answer is correct to the best of their knowledge, we can't rule out that attackers are inside the network wiping out their logs.


You’re right, except I’d say that Cox gave some thought so security, but not enough. Which is in some ways even more dangerous than ignoring security entirely.
