AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change
Summary
Updated author attribution, reformatted security warning about IAM long-term credentials, and fixed quotation mark syntax in Athena table reference
Security assessment
The warning about IAM long-term credentials was reformatted but not substantively changed. This maintains existing security guidance rather than addressing a new vulnerability. The change emphasizes security best practices but doesn't introduce new security documentation or address a specific incident.
