I Am Currently Facing The Biggest Challenge In My Life Right Now As A Programmer by samio234: 1:25pm On Aug 22, 2021
I don't know how somebody got assess to my aws and gcp account login credentials

The person used a service of $28k+ in aws and $17k+ in gcp

These are not my official account that I use everyday

I just created the accounts to test out something but I did not later use it again

After some months I opened the gcp account to use it for api calls and saw these huge amount

I have written to google and they said their was no fraudulent activity on the account

I am frustrated right now.

I don't want any bill I did not use attached to my name

I don't know what to do right now.

What can I do in this situation?

I don't have such money anywhere to pay

if I have I don't mind paying because I need peace of mind but I don't know where to get such money

No blame or insults please, as I am already depressed

I am getting more scared everyday

I am getting weaker and weaker everyday.

Mods please push this to fp so I can get more views and answers

It might not be someone o. It might be your code. A company had the same issues. They accumulated 70k USD overnight due to some badly written code with nested for loops.

I did not upload any code on the servers

I wanted to use it to test out somethings but I later did not use it again.

Do you know how it was resolved?

Thanks for your reply.

I so much appreciate it.

It's seriously possible that this is the case.

I read of a developer who said a client wanted to employ just to reduce their AWS bills.

I still don't know why these companies do this shiit, they have enough money already, why the hidden charges.

There are lots of resources on youtube.

How I learnt was by building projects not just watching crash courses and tutorials.

So go on Youtube and search something link "movie app with javascript" watch the course and see how the project was tackled and then try to build on your own. You can download the video to use for reference.

They usually go on sale a lot of times and you can get it between $10 - $12 instead, it's to just be on the lookout for whenever they're on sale.

That would have explained it. Some developers fish for keys pushed to github and use it to their heart's content.

If you're sure you didn't use it, reach out to them again. 50k as a nigerian? that one pass omo!

I thought these things were billed monthly, didn't go get an mail?

Write them again and let them monitor the account activity. The usage locations of the API's won't match your own. Login to the account and look for the API's not enabled by you. You have to present a good case, Google won't charge you. Milky Way's 72, 000 $ bill was written off after they presented their case about a crazy Infinite Recursion in their code.

Google too once had to clear my debt after I forgot to disable an API after usage and I didn't use it for one straight month.

Check the account very well and present your case to them.

Did you use such service?
If you didn’t use them then it means you must shave been careless with your account details.
Meanwhile you should have a receipt to track what subscriptions took the money.

And even the date they were purchased.
Did automatic subscription take those money?

Meanwhile why are you scared. Would AWS come to carry you or arrest you if you don’t have the money?

No where in the world are debtors arrested or jail, as much as you didn’t steal the subscription and you didn’t use fraud

There was not money on the account

They tried to debit me but it failed due to insufficient balance

I checked my account and found out that for GCP the person used the computing services that amounted to $17k+

I think the person used it for hosting a website.

but my aws account has been suspended but the debt for aws is $28k+

I am afraid they might come for meooo

Simply withdraw every payment option you have you with AWS and don’t use it again. No AWS is coming for you, it may only resurface if AWS ever had alliance with any Government body which I doubt it is real.

Meanwhile AWS doesn’t give so much debt overhead. I am quite surprised AWS give service and later ask you for the money. If this is the case then AWS should bear their loss.

Be afraid not, no one is taking you anywhere. So far have you received any calls or mails?

Web development is quite technical especially at professional level. Your best route is to learn from videos and source code of real life project.

Google is the thing for curious devs and if your passion is strong you will scale through.

As a beginner use YouTube and PDF.
At advance level, you may need to see real life project codes to know what next to learn

It has been only email from aws that I should make payment.

If I don't make payment in 90 days that they will terminate all the resources in that account

I am surprised too of how they will let it get to that amount without disabling the account.

What of GCP should I just remove my master card there too

I heard they sell the debt to debt collectors who will hunt you down

I am just asking tho

Thank your reply

I appreciate it.

I am a bit relieved tho.

Check properly if that money is actually a debt or someone is trying to prank you.

This is the first time I hearing overhead debt being giving to customers. Are you sure of the system you’re using if it is not redirecting to a clone of AWS.

Before now has AWS ever giving you the ability to use a service and pay later?

I have never heard of such. Please do your research

Yes aws give you their service to use at the end of the month

They will charge your payment card you have with them

But why they let it get to that ridiculous amount is what surprises me

They mean a lot to me because I don't know what to do right now.

He's joking. Red flags with the post and no screenshots attached.

Now he thinks the romance section is the best place to get help.
