Transparency Regarding Data Security

The DigitalOcean team is reflecting on an issue with their API integration with fog.io, where some users were able to see prior data on a newly created virtual server due to the default behavior of not scrubbing the data after destruction. This was caused by an initial mistake in determining the default behavior for the "scrub" feature, which was intended to be user-initiated and controllable. The team realized that they should have notified customers about this change in default behavior and provided explicit guidance on how to implement it. To address these concerns, DigitalOcean has updated their code base to ensure a clean system is provided during creates, regardless of the method used for initiating a destroy, and will continue to provide an extra level of precaution with the scrub feature. The team has also acknowledged that they need to improve their communication with customers regarding updates, changes, and features, and will strive to maintain sane defaults with security at the forefront.
