This. It's very odd that in other threads we see a bunch of accounts heavily invested in criticizing a cloud provider, but what's conspicuously absent from this wave of indignation is any curiosity in the root cause, or even any interest in exploring what it might have been. Quite odd.
Agreed, I'm very curious as to how this could happen.

That is exactly what GCP should do: not comment on a customer's issues. Even when it's due to abuse from a customer, which might even be the case.
Railway are alleging that this affected many GCP accounts, which would make at least a confirmation or denial of scope appropriate.
