What is the reason for this report?

My account was hacked and keeps adding new droplets everyday.

Posted on March 19, 2020

I opened several tickets regarding this issue!! My account was hacked 15 days ago until I received an email about droplet abuse. Even though I removed all the SSH keys, reset password, add two factor auth, someone still can access my account and create new SSH keys, and create droplets. I see the bills from $470 to $550+.

Can anyone at DigitalOcean help me take care of this issue? I open Ticket #03316518,Ticket #03313834, Ticket #03311009. But no one responds.

Thanks,
