You're assuming the owner rented the VPS to run the but but it's more likely intended for something else and is infected with malware / some intern being cute. After all there are cheaper plans than DO.

Nah, DO offers free credits so threat actors just keep abusing that, it's really easy to make (or buy) tons of fresh trial accounts.
Ah, that makes sense. I’ve been wondering why DigitalOcean has so much of the bot traffic.
Hmm, I'll try to do it and report back on how easy it was.
Thanks. I'd like to better understand the origin of DO's bot activity, and look forward to your report!
