Comment on Ask HN: Our AWS account got compromised after their outageparent

Comments

It does sound like you've been compromised by an outfit that has got automation to run these types of activities across compromised accounts. A Reddit post[0] from 3 years ago seems to indicate similar activities.

Do what you can to triage and see what's happened. But I would strongly recommend getting a professional outfit in ASAP to remediate (if you have insurance notify them of the incident as well - as often they'll be able to offer services to support in remediating), as well as, notify AWS that an incident has occurred.
