That's someone else's data (three someone elses' if you count the iPhone end users) read from the root block device on a minutes-old brand new fresh Digital Ocean VM that I got from them for a $5 PayPal payment. It had been mkfs'd but not zeroed.

Command was:

    apt-get -y install binutils ; dd if=/dev/vda bs=1M | strings -n 100 | grep 2013-12
The destroy api call docs are here:

(It's the /droplets/[droplet_id]/destroy one.)
