+title: AWS GuardDuty Detector Deleted Or Updated
+id: d2656e78-c069-4571-8220-9e0ab5913f19
+status: experimental
+description: |
+    Detects successful deletion or disabling of an AWS GuardDuty detector, possibly by an attacker trying to avoid detection of its malicious activities.
+    Upon deletion, GuardDuty stops monitoring the environment and all existing findings are lost.
+    Verify with the user identity that this activity is legitimate.
