Question
My database has disappeared - how can this have happened?
I run a web and mobile app database from Digital Ocean, and today some customers complained their mobile apps aren’t working. Checked it out and our database on Digital Ocean has just disappeared. We haven’t done anything to it - haven’t been in the account or anything - how could this have happened spontaneously? After investigating, our developer said the server reset the database software for some reason hence it’s back to stock databases. Any insight???

Do you have any update on this? Happened something similar to us in our development server. Also there was a database created called PLEASEREADME… Did you have the same? Checked all logs, using ‘last’ I had an entry from an unknown ip, but then again, we only allow ssh login using ssh keys.. So don’t know how this could happen.
