As an alternative: 301 redirect to an official .sg government site, let local law enforcement deal with it.


Don't actually do this, unless you fancy meeting AWS lawyers in court and love explaining intricate details of HTTP to judges.


I like this idea. Here’s how it plays out: Singapore law enforcement gets involved. They send a nasty-gram to AWS. lawyers get involved. AWS lawyers collect facts. Find that the culprit is not you, find that you’ve asked for help, find that they (AWS) failed to remediate, properly fix responsibility on the culprit and secondary responsibility on themselves, punch themselves in the crotch for a minute, and then solve the problem by canceling the account of the offending party.

Yeah, lawyers are notorious for blaming themselves and taking responsibility. You definitely won't just get blamed.


A lawyer who can see an easy defence to a path they wish to pursue is going to consider that in their response. If thay defence looks like their own clients vulnerability would be exposed in defence because of their clients action or inaction, their first response will almost certainly be to get the client to fix that action or inaction.
