Adversaries may gather information about the victim's DNS that can be used during targeting. DNS information may include a variety of details, including registered name servers as well as records that outline addressing for a target’s subdomains, mail servers, and other hosts.
Adversaries may gather this information in various ways, such as querying or otherwise collecting details via DNS/Passive DNS. DNS information may also be exposed to adversaries via online or other accessible data sets (ex: Search Open Technical Databases).(Citation: DNS Dumpster)(Citation: Circl Passive DNS) Gathering this information may reveal opportunities for other forms of reconnaissance (ex: Search Open Technical Databases, Search Open Websites/Domains, or Active Scanning), establishing operational resources (ex: Acquire Infrastructure or Compromise Infrastructure), and/or initial access (ex: External Remote Services).

Comments
AWS Security Hub detects improperly secured data from S3 buckets such as public read and write access that may result in an adversary getting access to information that could be used during targeting. AWS Security Hub provides these detections with the following managed insights.
S3 buckets with public write or read permissions S3 buckets with sensitive data
This is scored as Minimal because S3 only represents one of many available sources of information that an adversary could use for targeting.
