Abstract

Instances executing within a programmable execution service ('PES') that are engaged in undesirable computing activity can be identified by comparing activity performed by instances executing within the PES to data describing known undesirable computing activity. Once compromised instances have been identified, other previously unknown undesirable computing activity performed by the compromised instances can be identified by determining whether activity is performed by the compromised instances significantly more often than other instances executing within the PES. New undesirable computing activity discovered using this process could then be utilized to discover other compromised instances.
