The idea of a rogue AWS team running a deletion script without oversight should sound ridiculous. At a company that size of AWS, you will expect guardrails, audits, approvals.
But here is the thing: no one from AWS has given me an official explanation. Not during the 20-day support hell, not after termination, not even when I asked directly: “Does my data still exist?” Just a slow drip of templated replies, evasions, and contradictions.
An AWS insider did reach out claiming it was an internal test gone wrong, triggered by a misused --dry flag and targeting At a company that size, you'd expect guardrails, audits, approvals low-activity accounts.
According to them, the team ran it without proper approval. Maybe it is true. Maybe they were trying to warn me.
Maybe its a trap to get me to throw baseless accusations and discredit myself.
I'm not presenting that theory as fact. I don’t know what happened behind the wall.
What I do know is:
- My account was terminated without following AWS’s own 90-day retention policy
- I had a valid payment method on file
- Support stonewalled every direct question for 20 days
- No answers were provided, even post-mortem
