They do not take offending hosts offline. They allow hosts to continue making intrusion attempts, port scanning, and all kinds of nefarious activities. Fuck Digital Ocean!

Alex0007<p>DigitalOcean stole $20 from my balance. I topped it up when war and censorship started, right before Visa/Mastercard left Russia as a backup method. Now I logged back in and my balance is $0 with $20 gone with "Adjustment for failed Stripe refund" description. I haven't logged into the account and haven't requested any refunds. And if their refund failed, then why did they still subtract that money from the balance?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DigitalOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalOcean</span></a></p>
