MODERATORS
They're mostly boring stories: crypto mining and spam are probably 95% of them.
I would say, though, that you really shouldn't ever trust any hosting provider too much. You (like, the global you: not anyone in particular) ideally wouldn't want to be beholden to a single provider, (though I know that makes things cost more and isn't really always practical) but you should never never never let your provider be the sole arbiter of your data.
The teams that make the decisions on your account are under weird metric pressures to follow the flowchart and move on as fast as possible and don't really make any of the policies they're following and so if you somehow end up in their workflows, expecting the worst outcome is probably not the wrong mindset.
Always have a backup of your data in your control so you can recover if your hosting provider kicks you off/vanishes/has a hardware failure/whatever.
