CPU abuse?

Hey guys,

I received two emails from two different providers, one yesterday and one on Monday, for CPU abuse.. the funny part is that both suspected servers were actually idling. They had docker installed with services that were actually stopped.

I never received an CPU abuse email before and I'm curious to know if anybody else had comparable situations in the last days.

Both servers were actually configured to have only one UDP port open for WireGuard so I guess that hacking is not very likely.

Any ideas what caused this?

Thanks

    For both servers I was told it was about 100 percent for a longer time of the available CPUs. I have no idea what might have c

    Are legends permitted on your provider?
