I wonder if this is the same service that they use to scan public Github repositories for Secret AWS keys. I'll admit that I've accidentally committed a private key to a public repo before, and I received an email from AWS letting me know about it shortly after.

I suppose that its in Amazon's best interest to not have people hacking accounts and spinning up the maximum amount of EC2s to mine Bitcoins.

Not for Github, but the TruffleHog project on GitHub might be of interest to you. There is also SourceClear, which does the same for secrets in GitHub.

Note - AWS is monitoring AccessKey use and API thresholds to keep you informed.

Definitely not the same service. I have worked with MACIE during their beta and the focus is different.
