Identifies when a single AWS resource is making `DescribeInstances` API calls in more than 10 regions within a 30-second

regions using compromised credentials or a compromised instance. Adversaries may use this information to identify
potential targets for further exploitation or to gain a better understanding of the target's infrastructure.
