Anyone else receive a "GPU droplet destroyed" email from DigitalOcean

3 points by reassess_blind 17 days ago | 2 comments

Hello,

About 3 hours ago I received this email, despite not having (ever?) created a GPU droplet with DigitalOcean. The Audit Log of my account seems to confirm no unusual activity and no GPU droplets created/destroyed.

Has anyone else received this email in error?

I received a similar email 10 years ago for a droplet I did want, they said they lost it, and could not recover it. I went to Linode after that and have been happy ever since.

Update: DigitalOcean support confirms I received this email by mistake.

Was a bit concerning as the obvious assumption was that the account was hacked to mine crypto on a gpu.
