Detection: S3 Bucket Deleted
Overview
Detect when an Amazon S3 bucket was deleted. Bucket deletions can lead to permanent data loss, operational disruptions, or compliance violations, especially if the data is not backed up or the deletion is unauthorized. Ensuring buckets are deleted only by authorized actions helps protect critical data and maintain compliance.

Usage
Run the detection in your terminal:
powerpipe detection run aws_cloudtrail_log_detections.detection.s3_bucket_deletedSnapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:
powerpipe loginpowerpipe detection run aws_cloudtrail_log_detections.detection.s3_bucket_deleted --shareSQL
This detection uses a named query:
select tp_timestamp as timestamp,string_split(event_source, '.')[1] || ':' || event_name as operation,request_parameters ->> 'bucketName' as resource,user_identity.arn as actor,tp_source_ip as source_ip,tp_index as account_id,aws_region as region,tp_id as source_id,*
from aws_cloudtrail_logwhere event_source = 's3.amazonaws.com' and event_name = 'DeleteBucket' and error_code is null
order by event_time desc;
