How long does DO take to answer abuse-replies?

Posted on January 14, 2020

I had a test site that was hacked into, the droplet was flagged as abuse. However, this has been resolved, but DO is not responding to abuse replies. Anyone know how long they take or if they even have employees looking into this anymore?

Hey @jackWalrus,

In our public community, we aim to answer open questions about anything SysAdmin, DigitalOcean and beyond. However, we make every attempt to keep personal information safe and so don’t ever access personal account information here. This means we can’t provide help with any account or billing-related issues.

Do you have a ticket number from when you contacted our abuse team so that I can get this followed up for you?

Hope that helps! - Matt.
