Scary indeed. Many thanks for the warning. I was contemplating starting to use Amazon Cloud and some Google tools but definitely will not touch any of it now. Who knows how many other traps like this are laying in wait for the unweary?
All this automation is very well but this illustrates the dangers of running stuff on other's machines of unknown complexity and out of your own control, while having to pay for whatever may happen. Not for me, thanks.
