See other sibling comments to yours, but you basically have named support contacts who would have been the human-in-the-loop ensuring that a situation like OP's can't happen.

I haven't spoken to them in like a decade, but they also offered other monitoring stuff like notifying you of likely phishing registrations, etc. And it's no longer novel now with options like Route53, but they used to be one of the only solutions with proper RBAC/delegation/audit logs.
