Tragic story – AWS hacked account

Tragic story – AWS hacked account
1 point by nouxious 0 minutes ago | hide | past | favorite | discuss
My son got into an accident last August and suffered a severe traumatic brain injury that left him hospitalized for months.

In that time, I received an email from AWS warning me that my account had been hacked.

It goes without saying that I didn't check my emails daily when my son was dying.

That very small account (*$20/month) turned into several thousand dollars.

I contacted AWS for assistance. Although they acknowledged that my account had been hacked, they refused to waive the bill and demanded full payment.

If you were in my position, what would you do?
