I am old enough to have lived in soviet times for a short while. One thing I remember from back then - in order to get things done, you had to know someone. Perhaps your aunt's friend worked in the politbureau or your mom's classmate was a friend of the director. Through connections like that you could get what you needed.
It was such a relief when times changed and regardless of who you were, you could start exchanging money for things and services.
This story and many others like it remind me of those times - it's back to who you know to get your account unlocked. I've never gotten a story on the front page of HN and probably have 5 twitter followers. What's my avenue of getting my data back?
This isn't just about DO either. Similar stories about google and other services are many to be found.
