S3 allowing customers to incorporate a "domain" or any part of it as part of the bucket's name is a contributing factor here, in my opinion.

The name of the bucket (which ends up being a part of the bucket's URL) should be entirely outside of the user's control. Make it a random 32 character string (and make it such that old strings can't ever be recycled).

This way people can't "register" buckets for domains they don't own.
