ℹ️ AWS announced general availability of displaying the account name in the AWS Management Console navigation bar across all public Regions. The new account name display lets authorized users visually identify and distinguish accounts at a glance rather than relying solely on numeric account IDs. The capability is available at no additional cost; administrators must enable it by applying the appropriate managed policy before users will see the name in the console.

🗺️ Authors can now resolve ambiguous locations directly on map visuals in Amazon Quick Suite using Quick Sight. When place names occur in multiple regions—examples include cities like Springfield or Abbeville—authors may disambiguate by adding supporting geospatial fields to create location hierarchies, searching the product’s geographic database, or entering precise latitude/longitude coordinates. The feature presents clear status indicators (Unmatched, Matched, Unused) and resolution actions accessible from map visuals. It is available in all regions that support Quick Sight, and documentation plus a blog post provide guidance on maps and geospatial charts.

⚠️ Sysdig researchers observed an AI-assisted intrusion in November 2025 that converted exposed AWS credentials in a public S3 bucket into full administrative control in under eight minutes. The attackers exploited an IAM user with Lambda and limited Amazon Bedrock access, injected malicious code into an existing Lambda function, and generated admin keys from the function output. They then moved laterally across multiple principals, invoked multiple foundation models (LLMjacking), disabled model-invocation logging, and attempted to provision costly GPU instances to run ML workloads. Sysdig recommends enforcing least privilege, restricting UpdateFunctionCode and PassRole, protecting S3 buckets, enabling Lambda versioning, and turning on Bedrock logging.

📢 Oracle Database@AWS is now available in CA-Central-1 (Canada Central) and AP-Southeast-2 (Sydney), each starting with one Availability Zone.
