🪣 Amazon Bucket S3 => Can't Access objects => fatal error: An error occurred (451) when calling the HeadObject operation: Unavailable For Legal Reasons

Hi there 👋 !

We have a bucket name with the domain value as: bucket.companyABC.com. Unfortunately, we stopped using the domain "companyABC.com" and this domain does NOT exist anymore.

So, now Amazon Bucket S3 shows:

• An SSL error when trying to access objects.
• A "Unavailable For Legal Reasons" when trying to download or Sync objects to another bucket.

What I have tried:

• Copy files skipping SSL verification locally does not work.

aws s3 cp s3://bucket.companyABC.com/file.jpg file.jpg --no-verify-ssl
urllib3/connectionpool.py:1045: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made to host 's3.sa-east-1.amazonaws.com'. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/1.26.x/advanced-usage.html#ssl-warnings
fatal error: An error occurred (451) when calling the HeadObject operation: Unavailable For Legal Reasons

• Try so sync objects to another bucket. Didn't work either:

aws s3 sync s3://bucket.companyABC.com/ s3://newbucket.companyXYZ.com/ --no-verify-ssl
urllib3/connectionpool.py:1045: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made to host 's3.sa-east-1.amazonaws.com'. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/1.26.x/advanced-usage.html#ssl-warnings
fatal error: An error occurred (451) when calling the ListObjectsV2 operation: Unavailable For Legal Reasons

Other considerations:

• My user has full S3 permissions.
• In the AWS certificate manager, it shows that certificate status "Expired" for domain "bucket.companyABC.com".
• We don't have access to domain "bucket.companyABC.com" anymore.

Any advise on how can we download the objects ?

Thank you ! Regards.
