It seems like a large overhead, but making your app multi-cloud compatible to counter for scenarios such as this might be not be as crazy as it sounds. 99.99% availability doesn't cover for scenarios like this.

I'd just make a backup AWS account with separate billing before I worked on multi-cloud.

Could work, but if you're being targeted for some reason it's likely they would find your other account.

That's short-sighted and poor engineering. You need your service to be able to keep going no matter what any single vendor does. Never intentionally create a single point of failure like that.
