I missed this research at the time, but it's really great and worth sharing. A security researcher created and published a set of AWS keys tied to a canarytoken to determine how long it takes for inadvertently exposed private keys to get stolen and, crucially, illegally used.

In some cases, the canarytoken was triggered in less than 60 seconds after the keys were stolen. In other words, criminals are fast. If you exposed your keys, the sooner you act, the better.
