I once committed my private AWS keys to a public github repo. A bot scooped it up nearly instantly and spun up many, many ec2 instances that were (probably) mining bitcoins.
I received an automated email from Github telling me that I had committed a private key, but it came in the middle of the night.
In the morning, when I learned what had happened, my bill was over $3k.
I fixed the issue and emailed AWS asking for some relief, and they called me and let me know they were waving all the charges.

So, perhaps you too can beg for mercy?
