"In early 2023, Apple spotted unusual activity around the data and contents associated with its terminated cloud accounts on AWS. By April 2023, Apple escalated concerns to AWS's security team, and asked the cloud giant to investigate whether the data and contents were deleted from roughly 2,200 of its AWS accounts that had been closed for more than 90 days. AWS customers expect their data to be permanently deleted 90 days after accounts are shut. An internal AWS investigation found that it had failed to remove almost 2,000 pieces of content or metadata linked to those Apple terminated accounts, according to the document."
