[AWS engineer here] You're right. It's encryption at rest. The article reads like it's been written by someone who doesn't understand how those leaks occurred, what encryption means, or what has been launched here.

I'd recommend changing from this article to the official announcement from AWS.

Actually, looks like they understand how the leaks occurred. Just not that AWS automatically decrypts the files, making it unable to protect against those types of breaches.
