It wasn't clear from the memo, but how did the attacker know which 8 specific accounts had 'references to bitcoin' if they didn't access other accounts too?

- calloc 15y agoAre you able to name your VM's on Linode?
- ukd1 15y agoI doubt it's that: I would have worked out the target sites hosts (looking up the IP), made a list, worked out the most popular by value - probably worked out it was linode and gone from there...once in, I'd bet it's a simple task of searching for the IP in their interface.
- mdda 15y agoOk, asking the other way around, did Linode check out the non-attacked VPSs to determine whether they didn't have bitcoin wallets on them? I'm not disagreeing with anything else said here - it's just that it seems that the memo was very conclusive in stating something that couldn't be known unless there was more VPS introspection than they claim...
