DigitalOcean leaks customer data between VMs
There are a couple of things I wanted to say, and I can speak with some authority on the subject as I speak on behalf of DigitalOcean.<p>This was mentioned to me on twitter hours ago, prior to this post. The first thing I said is that most people these days understand the importance of a responsible disclosure, and that we take all security issues very seriously. Not following responsible disclosure with a company such as DigitalOcean is extremely irresponsible and I would be amiss to point that if anyone did ever find a software vulnerability filing it and waiting 24 hours for the appropriate response is preferred. - <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/security" rel="nofollow">https://www.digitalocean.com/security</a><p>As far as I can tell here, there is no unexpected behavior that isn't documented or stressed. In both our API documentation, and our control panel, we note that you must either pass a flag or check the box to security delete the data. As far as I can tell, the flag is currently functionally correctly. so..<p>Is the complaint that customer data is being leaked from VMs? That the flag being passed via our API/Dash isn't actually working? Or, that our policy on not doing a secure delete by default isn't something you agree with?<p>j.
