motherofzappa··on Student Charged $14k on Stolen Google Cloud Credentials
playing devils advocate, but taking peoples word prima facie is dangerous. Especially when it deals with financial issues. Pretty sure you can any contempt person could game the system if people found out “students” automatically get refunds for bs charges. I think AWS is different as they have their educate program and distinguish between students and free trial customers. AFAIK gcp doesn’t have an education system for students, so it’s harder to differentiate a legitimate request

This is hilarious. Student doesn’t understand security in depth model, gets owned. Has a sour taste with said cloud provider. At what level do you accept responsibility for shoddy security practices. If the project was truly defunct then you should have closed the project or removed everyone’s access who isn’t project owner. Hindsight is 20/20.
