DigitalOcean's network is one of the worst on the internet in regards to abusive traffic (DDOS, spam email, hacking attempt origin points.). I know this term is as good as dead these days but their SysOps are not good netziens. Abuse complaints never receive replies, their system images are insecure by default, they encourage novice users to take extreme risks in order to sell more product. /End rant.
This reminds me a bit of this exchange (parent and child comment):

Well, my attempt to run zmap on DO quickly resulted in banned account so they do _something_
I have never received a response to abuse complaints about zombie machines hitting my network, not once. If you run a website or network you would do well to add the entire DO ip space to your firewalls blacklist.
