Abstract
Method and apparatus for preventing communications with potentially compromised computing instances are described. An example method generally includes receiving, from a requesting device, a request to interact with the resource instance in the computing environment. A system examines current ownership information associated with the resource instance in the computing environment and determines that the resource instance is potentially compromised based, at least in part, on a determination that the ownership information associated with the resource instance has changed from the owner identified in a historical record to a second owner. Responsive to the determination that the resource instance is potentially compromised, the system takes action to manage communications with the resource instance so as to prevent the requesting device from sharing information with the resource instance.
