Description
Orca detected that an exposed AWS access key was used in attempt to attach a policy to an IAM group. This action may indicate of a presence of an unauthorized actor in the cloud environment, since the AWS credentials conducting the API call has been exposed and compromised. The operation to attach a policy to an IAM group resulted in access denied due to AWS prevention policy on exposed access keys. AWS proactively monitors popular code repository sites for exposed AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) access keys. On detection of an exposed IAM access key, a policy named 'AWSExposedCredentialPolicy_DO_NOT_REMOVE' is assigned to the IAM user in order to notify on the leaked access key.
