Anyone else had AWS suddenly start emailing them in Chinese out of nowhere?
I checked lambdaguard and komiser and cloudwatch and cloudtrail - I see no suspicious logins, no resources in strange places, our IDS didn't pick up anything, and all the APAC regions are disabled, and there's nothing in them. So it's not like we were suddenly hacked as far as I can tell.
@silverwizard Sorry about the anxiety attack ☹️

@Hypolite Petovan It's just fucking weird.

Why are they doing this?! my rep wont tell me!

once, years ago. I think they sent an email out a few days later saying sorry it was a bug. That obviously doesn't stop the panic.

Can it be translated and tied to a legitimate communication that got hit by a similar bug?

@j_angliss So they've done three in simplified Chinese so far, all with an English translation. They're about changes to Lambda in various APAC regions.

I don't know why as we have those regions disabled and nothing in use in them - but I definitely freaked the hell out.
