Identifies when a service account is deleted in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). A service account is a special type of
account used by an application or a virtual machine (VM) instance, not a person. Applications use service accounts to
make authorized API calls, authorized as either the service account itself, or as G Suite or Cloud Identity users
through domain-wide delegation. An adversary may delete a service account in order to disrupt their target's business
operations.
