Lol "victim blaming" used in the context of a situation with no victims is crazy. The author signed a contract that allowed this outcome and is SHOCKED it happened to them. You and their naive asses can enjoy blaming everyone but yourself.
Did you even read the article? Even under the VERY GENEROUS interpretation of contract law that contracts can't be predatory (which is not a particularly popular philosophical stance outside of cyberpunk fiction), AWS MENA fell short of even their typical termination procedures because they accidentally nuked it while doing a dry-run.
I don't know where you work but if we did that to a paying customer, even IF there was a technicality through which we could deny responsibility, we would be trying to make it right.
