After last week's revelations that a hacker stole the personal details of 106 million Capital One credit card applicants from its Amazon-hosted cloud storage, a US Senator has demanded Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos explain what exactly what went wrong.

The sensitive information was siphoned from Capital One's Amazon Web Services S3 buckets by a former AWS engineer, who was arrested and charged at the end of July.
