I have just checked my Google Cloud Platform and saw 4 projects ( not sure are created by me or not ) was created around Jan . 2019.
The point here is
- These projects are listed under my Goolge Cloud Platform. But i HAVE NO PERMISSIONS for these project, even NOT OWNER.
Checked into project and found related with
rouf...@rtat.net Rohit travels & tours

These email are really strange and i have never contacted before.

I believe i have be hacked. BUT i can't do anything even shutdown project.
Not sure what should i do in this case.

These are project name / id

NameID

Not currentpakegecloud-app-1547941446998
Not current
My First Project (move screen reader cursor to ancestry tooltip within this table cell to be notified of when it has finished loading)
braided-torch-229817
Not current

Hi,

If you are not a Owner of a project, you will not be able to delete them. I would suggest reaching out to the Billing team if you believe there was malicious activity that occurred on your GCP account [1].

Hi there;

I believe this is related to an issue I had earlier this year:

There is some kind of quite serious bug in the system whereby if you join a group, and another member of that group has a project in Google Cloud Dev, then their project appears (uneditable!) in your account.

I spoke to Google security at quite some length about this back in July, they had not seen this before, but promised to investigate and fixed. I'm surprised they haven't.

Until it's fixed, the only way to remove the malicious or unwanted project is to try and identify the group and remove yourself from it.

Googe - can we please have some comment on why this is still happening nearly 3 months later (and causing stress and confusion for users?)

Hi there
Yes. It's right if i'm not owner than i can't do anything with these projects.
But strange points are
- Why these projects are listed under my GCP account and not under my owner ?
- I saw emails in these contacts ARE NOT related with any contacts. Look like some one in Dubai / Mumbai etc ... I have never worked with these countries :)

Yay . I have contacted GCP team for support . This post was created BEFORE i can contact them :)

Thank you,
Viet Vu

Hi,

Your question is related to billing support. Billing support is more export to answer this kind of question. GCP technical support can not help you with this issue. You need to reach out to the Billing team[1].

To anyone else that gets this issue here is the resolution:

The project owners added https://groups.google.com/g/atlassian-sourcetree-beta to the project. So these projects are visible to anyone that joined that group.
Leaving the Atlassian sourcetree beta group should remove them from your account.

You can leave groups herehttps://groups.google.com/my-groups
