This seems relevant...note that it's from 2011: http://www.infoworld.com/t/cloud-computing/sloppy-use-of-amazon-cloud-can-expose-users-hacking-178575
Specifically: "These vulnerabilities leave users exposed to malware, as well as to unsolicited connections, which malicious hackers could use to gather information about an AMI's usage and to collect IP target addresses for future attacks through a built-in backdoor. Researchers also observed a vulnerability involving leftover credentials; that is, a user's password or part of his or her SSH keys, necessary for accessing a remote Linux server, might end up left on an AMI. A malicious hacker might leave his or her public key intact on an AMI so that he or she can log in to any running instance of the image down the road."
