One of us: $17k Gemini API spending fraudolent spike overnight

One of us: $17k Gemini API spending fraudolent spike overnight

Still investigating.

What probably happened:

A project of mine was using an old Google Map API Key. Because the old key lived on the same Google Cloud project, Google's backend infrastructure automatically and silently upgraded the public Maps key to have full access to Gemini.

As described by: http://trufflesecurity.com/blog/google-api-keys-werent-secrets-but-then-gemini-changed-the-rules

Key was probably scraped by the app bundle.

I already opened a case and waiting for reponse. What do you suggest me? Cannot afford the bill. Solo developer.

Hey everyone,

I've been working on Dittongo, a mobile app (Android for now) that lets you create and run your own little tools just by describing what you want in plain English.

The idea is simple: you type something like "make me a tip calculator" or "create a habit tracker" and the app uses AI to generate a working mini-app on the spot. No code, no installs.

Each tool you create lives inside the app and has access to storage and several plugins
