Hi,
I created a droplet for a friend (just for a few days, he want to test things). And I’m wondering, can he with his droplet “hack” my DO account? Or bill more than I want ?
Thanks !
Penkie.

Greetings!
If you give someone else access to a droplet on your account, these are the things that they can do which should concern you:
- Exceed the allocated bandwidth, leading to additional billing
- Host content that is a violation of our policy or applicable laws, for which you will be responsible
- Perform actions that impact other customers (ex. DDOS, send spam), for which you will be responsible
That should basically cover it. Never give someone access to a droplet on your account unless you trust that they won’t do anything for which you will be held accountable for in a negative way.
