Reminder: Use best practices to avoid phishing scams on DigitalOcean
An increase in phishing attempts targeting DigitalOcean users has been observed recently. These malicious activities involve sending emails with links to non-DigitalOcean sites, aiming to gain control of user accounts and resources. A recent example includes an email from a fake DigitalOcean Customer Support account, falsely claiming that the user's account had been disabled. Users are advised not to click on any links in such emails or enter their credentials. If users have clicked on the link and entered their information, they should immediately change their password and contact customer support if necessary. Enabling two-factor authentication is also recommended for increased security.
