Interview candidate commits GCP credentials to code, racks up $78k in charges

Was this not caught by Github's Secret Scanning Partner Program? Google Cloud is a partner.

Just yesterday I read a thread from nine months ago where someone received a surprise bill from Google because Google Cloud Computing lifts limits automatically.

Did he not know this was a possibility? We hear about something like this or aws or whatever like once a month. I get that he didn't intend for it to happen but if you let someone and facilitate the action aren't you at least partially to blame?

Later in the thread they report that the fees were credited back.

Wow. I wonder if you should just reincorporate and have the dead business declare bankruptcy.

I bet Google is going to lock your other accounts should you do that in future regardless of the bankruptcy protection while doing "It is our advanced AI, we know nuffing" hand wave

Google gave them a $99.9k credit.
