WTF?

I had a new employee dev include AWS creds in his github which was pulled instantly by hacker bots that launched a SHITTON of instances globally and cost $100K in a matter of hours...

It took my team like 6 hours to get it all under control... but AWS dropped all charges and we didnt have to pay any hosting costs for it....

So why didnt you work with AWS to kill such charges?
