AWS MFA Issue Recovery – Incident Response Case

Description

This repository documents a real-world style incident where Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) was tied to the personal device of a former IT employee. When the employee left the company, new administrators were locked out of the AWS account.

The case covers:

  • IAM and Role investigation
  • MFA reassignment attempts via AWS Console and CLI
  • Escalation to AWS Support internal verification
  • Root Cause Analysis and preventive measures

Objective

Showcase technical and procedural expertise in MFA issue recovery, aligned with real SME practices at AWS.
