You'll probably get an email from AWS that your account is compromised and you have 5 days to rotate your keys or your account could be terminated.

Then everyday they email you to see if you made any progress rotating the keys.

Yes you will, but only because GitHub already recognised this class of problems and came up with their own solution [1]. Bear in mind that it works only for vendors that integrated, so while it's true for AWS it might not be for your FOO API.

I giggled at meme.
