Sure. But then everyone should be clear about it. Linode is a toy and should never be used if you value the security of your data.

Looking through your old comments and linking out a bit it seems the incident occurred as a result of a leaked password from an employee. Seems pretty simple, and I take them at their word in their statement (http://status.linode.com/2012/03/manager-security-incident.html http://status.linode.com/2012/03/manager-security-incident.h...) that they've made improvements here. Only a month later Bruce Schneier praised some new password related features being set up (http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2012/04/password_securi.html http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2012/04/password_secur...). I'll agree they're obviously in no mood to make public comments about this, but I think that might be part of that I think they're more than happy to not be a destination host for users that want to store unencrypted bitcoin wallets on hosts. I'd certainly never store anything that translates into money on a public host.
