I also want to briefly note that communicating, from the outset, "this is a significant incident, your keys are compromised, the attack is ongoing and you cannot enter new keys as _those too will be compromised_" is a better response than leaving people to figure out the unfortunate combo endpoint of "my keys are compromised, I have rotated them, this has broken my site but I have new keys, and oh surprise, I can't deploy". The full story needed to be communicated more clearly; the email just said "revoke your keys", which I urgently did... and then remembered/found out that changing environment variables requires a deploy.

I would rather have known earlier that I should put a notice on my site, or my own social media, or notify my own customers ASAP and disable some functionality (or make my own choice about porting somewhere else as a mitigation) than get caught out like this after the horse has bolted and it turns out you've been desperately trying to get it back into the paddock for days.
