Free Tier instance disabled

in OCI - General 2 comments

Summary:

Free Tier instance disabled - AI tool caused outbound traffic, need instance reenabled

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

My Always Free Tier compute instance was disabled due to outbound traffic from my tenancy.

Cause: I used an AI coding assistant (Claude Code) to help modify my WordPress website. The AI was given SSH access and configured automated scripts that I did not personally review. These scripts generated
outbound connections that Oracle flagged as port scanning.

I understand the issue. I am not a security expert and was unaware of what the AI had done. I will remove all offending scripts immediately if allowed access.
