Linode will send you a confirmation email if you access the admin panel from a "new" IP. This guy must have had his email address compromised as well.
Looks like a class spear-attack.
- redegg 15y agoSo far there are 3 people who've reported their Linodes compromised. They all had popular Bitcoin services running on their Linode. 3 compromised emails? Very unlikely. They are all major contributors to Bitcoin, I think they know a little more than using the same password everywhere. Linode will only send you a confirmation email if you enable the feature, otherwise tough luck. It's also been confirmed by the vice president of Linode to be a fault on their side.
- mahmud 15y agoFair enough. I stand corrected. More plausible to have broken web UI security than an entire bitcoin-community-wide targetting.
- Legion 15y ago> Linode will send you a confirmation email if you access the admin panel from a "new" IP. IF you have the IP whitelisting feature enabled on your account. It is not by default.
