True, but that is a little exaggerated. Yes, they were hacked in the past (over a year ago); one of their small data centers went down. Their US East center has been solid for the past 8 months that I have been using, no hiccups.
- xyzzy123 10y agoAs opposed to AWS and DO which have never had comparable security issues. In this case, "never" is what I'd expect versus "yeah it's been a few months since last serious incident". I wouldn't host an ethereum or bitcoin node on Linode. If I were a PCI auditor I would think pretty hard about compliance on the platform. That said, blog you don't care too much about -- sure!
- mgkimsal 10y agowow... 8 months? Not being able to get in to your servers for days at a time is not "a little exaggerated". It was less than a year ago - 11 months. December in to January, Linode data centers, but especially Atlanta, were heavily attacked. https://blog.linode.com/2016/01/29/christmas-ddos-retrospective/ https://blog.linode.com/2016/01/29/christmas-ddos-retrospect... There was another moderate attack a few months ago. Caused no end of headache for some clients of mine. I like Linode, and have used them for some projects in the past, but there are more options now.
- jethro_tell 10y agoBut they were hacked and didn't tell anyone for 6-8 mo even though they knew. So you don't really know they aren't deeply compromised now? Then the ddoss and offline hosts. it's basically just amateur hour over there.
- RKearney 10y agoI wish I could say the same for US South (Atlanta). Constant DDoS attacks, outages, power failures, hardware failures, and more. I don't think I've ever gone longer than 3 months of uptime there across multiple linodes.
