mongodb dropDatabase everyday

I'm have a mongodb installed in a droplet in digital ocean. I was talking with de digital ocean suport right now, but, apparently he cant help me with this.

Checking mongodb logs, i see this:

2017-01-13T12:00:30.396+0000 I COMMAND [conn29429] dropDatabase MYDBNAME starting 2017-01-13T12:00:30.398+0000 I COMMAND [conn29429] dropDatabase MYDBNAME finished

And is repeating everyday, apparently.

I have no idea what is the cause, i dont have any cronjobs or any deleting operation in my applications. Thanks for any help.

Your mongodb instance has been hacked, presumably because you've left it wide-open to the outside world.

There's a couple of articles here on the issue:
