This is the third time I created a droplet in order to have access to my content and yet, the next day I receive the following message:
“We are writing to let you know that your Droplet Celats-18.11 at 68.183.100.152 has been disconnected from the network after it contributed 125.7 Mbps to a 12.6 Gbps Distributed Denial of Service attack. The network traffic from your Droplet matches a pattern of malicious traffic originating from other Droplets targeted at a specific victim”
This is certeanly gonna cause me a lot of trouble and really want to know how to avoid this.

Greetings!
I’m sorry that this has caused so much trouble. I understand first hand how frustrating that can be. If this keeps happening to you, it should be true that something unique to your situation is the underlying cause. Generally this means one of two things:
- Public facing software that contains a vulnerability, being exploited by a remote party.
- Compromised root password (shared with a compromised website, easily guessed, things like that).
I know that’s a little vague but if it keeps happening, it’s surely one of those. It’s just hard for me to know which one it might be.
