Nope. We don't have the spine to condemn the perpetrator
Guess the place 5
hint: for nearly 1000 years and were considered almost impossible to destroy
So my project on Google Cloud just got suspended out of nowhere.
Reason they gave:
>"Associated with abusive activity consistent with hijacking"
And then:
- Maybe your API keys were exposed
- Maybe service account leaked
- Maybe third party used your project
But the problem is…
I didn’t expose any keys (at least not knowingly).
And they didn’t give:
- which key was compromised
- what activity happened
- when it happened
Just a generic automated message.
Now the account is suspended and I can’t even do anything inside the console.
I’ve already:
- Checked my code (no public keys)
- Rotated credentials just in case
But still no clarity on what actually triggered this.
I saw someone mentioning that these flags are sometimes triggered by automated systems and even internally they’ve seen false positives.
So now I’m wondering:
👉 Is this actually a real compromise?
👉 Or just a false flag?
Has anyone here faced this before?
How long did it take to get your account back?
Did Google actually give proper details or just generic replies?
