What would "fraud" mean in this context? Are they talking about customers who don't pay their bill to DO? (If so, seems like the account should just be temporarily suspended until the bill is paid.) Or are they talking about fraud to other parties, like phishing sites? (If so, I don't see the connection to crypto mining.)

My understanding is that they're trying to prevent users from creating new accounts, running 100%CPU until it's time to pay the bill and then just not paying, moving on to another new account.

edit: from elsewhere ITT it seems they're doing this with stolen credit cards.
