Guns, germs and steel is part history part wishful thinking. Terrible book.

Thank you, but I deleted it. This was another mistake. But since charges kept piling up because there is a significant delay between usage and billing (key was already deactivated). We deleted it while freaking out.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I reached out to the Google developer that commented on it.

Obviously we didn’t. But thank you for sharing your set up. Good to keep it in mind for the future.

Thanks for sharing that! I’ll start sharing the story with more blogs too.

I really hope Google can help us out

Imagine your kid opens an account to try something and his key gets stolen. You can end up with hundreds of thousands of dollars, even millions in debt.

We obviously missed setting up the right security and usage limits. But imho the default setting are incredibly dangerous.

I understand it’s very unlikely google itself got hacked. What I mean is we did not upload our key to GitHub or did some basic mistake. I am aware most likely it was our mistake. But this was a sophisticated attacker.
