AWS GuardDuty Threat Intelligence Set Deleted

Detects the deletion of an Amazon GuardDuty threat intelligence set. Threat intelligence sets are custom lists of known-malicious IP addresses or domains that GuardDuty uses to generate findings when monitored resources communicate with those indicators. Deleting a threat intel set degrades GuardDuty's detection capability for known adversary infrastructure, allowing communication with threat-actor-controlled IP ranges to go undetected.
