Coinmining Activity on your Oracle Cloud Account

edited Oct 31, 2024 11:51AM in OCI - General 4 comments

I'm on the Always Free tier, and I had set up an Ubuntu VM to host a demo site that's in development. Today, I received a notification that my VM (Instance ID: ocid1.instance.oc1.eu-paris-1.xxxx) has been disabled.

The reason given for the disabling was that Oracle detected "Coinmining Activity" on the instance.I don’t do any crypto-mining, and my Ubuntu setup was up-to-date. The message also said the VM won't accept any action requests, and I should contact support to re-enable it.Anyone know how I can get it enabled again?
