>Around the same time that this email was forwarded to me, DigitalOcean disabled the network interface on my VPS in order to stop the phishing attack from working. Fair enough, can't really expect them to do any more than that.
I disagree. I don't think this is okay. Aside from this IPFS story, DigitalOcean in general does not care about abuse. Unlike providers such as OVH, DigitalOcean will simply nullroute you when you fall victim to a DDoS attack. I wish they stepped up their game - until then, after hearing those stories, I will not be using their service for anything I care about.
- rmdoss 8y agoYep, both DO and Linode do the same thing. Just null route your IP and take forever to remove it once you fixed whatever problem it was (even if it was a false alarm).
