The Visa I was using for billing with Linode had an authorized "test charge" earlier this week, and I had the card number replaced. Now I see this, and it makes me wonder.

My Visa (that I use for Linode) was compromised this week too, someone tried to order ~$100 of stuff from Amazon but my bank rejected the charge and now I have to wait another week before I can make payments again (killed my card...). Probably a coincidence but it makes me wonder too...

  What?! Anyone else affected similarly?

  Oh! This is kind of a scary coincidence. Got to go check my credit card statement. EDIT: All is good with my account.

Was that credit card number used anywhere else? Given Linode's size, it's not surprising for a few customers to have had coincidental CC compromises recently.

It's probably just because they have a large number of customers, but our Linode credit card number was stolen two weeks ago.

  My Linode credit card number was also stolen two weeks ago!

Ugh. Now I am worried about my card too (current linode customer). :/ I wish my CC provider supported 'single use' or 'limit based' generated numbers. I think discover card does? edit: something like this https://www.discover.com/credit-cards/member-benefits/security/manage-online-account-number.html https://www.discover.com/credit-cards/member-benefits/securi... but for my card would be neat
