Account Disabled: Abusive Activity

user-o0kl3Nov 9 2023

I got an email saying We have determined that there is a significant threat to the functionality, security, integrity, or availability of our services, including violations of the Oracle Cloud Acceptable Use Policy, and your resource(s) has been disabled.

It says the server was doing Outbound Port Scanning, Brute-forcing, Web Exploitation, and/or DDoS. I'm confused because I didn't have anything I know of on there that falls under those, and I can't SSH into the VPS anymore to check my processes. On top of all that, I can't log into my account anymore.

The only change I've made in months to the VPS is I recently started a new private Minecraft server that me and a couple friends have been playing on actively. So maybe that explains significant outgoing traffic? Since I can't access the account the world we were playing on is gone too.

Is there any way I can reactivate my account and VPS?
