Ask HN: Does your DigitalOcean droplet get hacked often?
Hi folks,
For those of you using DigitalOcean, wondering how many of you had your droplets compromised? I don't even know where to begin investigating how they were able to penetrate.
I'm also considering moving away given that I have repeatedly received emails from DigitalOcean telling me that "I'm the cause of traffic spikes and attacks on other websites". Contacting support is also quite useless as they assume I'm at fault.
Thankfully, it's only a personal website being hosted but it's still quite annoying.
- Flankk 8y agoNever had an issue. Here's how to search for trojans: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/my-droplet-has-been-compromised-and-is-sending-an-outgoing-flood-or-ddos-what-do-i-do https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/my-droplet-... DO has put out a lot of information on how to harden your server. Beyond that, an old Wordpress installation is the most obvious attack vector.
- piocho 8y agoSometimes ago I had a personal website hosted on DO, never had issues with it.
- sosorry44 8y agoNever. What are you running on it? word press?
