Not only that, it also makes me wonder about the free RAM upgrade from almost a week ago. Some people are reporting their Linode credit cards being used for fraudulent purchases as far as a week ago, so this might have been a move to gain some pre-emptive goodwill.
I don't know though... will wait until more details are available but will be keeping an eye on CC statements / VPS alternatives.
- ConceitedCode 14y agoI tend to think the timing is just a coincidence. They also upgraded CPU and bandwidth over the last month and there were rumors of upgraded RAM for a while too.
- eridius 14y ago"Someone hacked us and stole customer details... quick, give everyone more RAM!" Doesn't sound very plausible to me.
- nivla 14y agoLogically, they couldn't have planned it all in such a short period of time. However if they did, from a business perspective it is very good plan. Without the upgrade, today some customers would have had two reasons to leave Linode, now they only have one.
- robflynn 14y agoI believe that to be a coincidence. They have been performing upgrades for a while now. (Increased hard drive space, increased CPU, and finally increased ram.) I think it was just an unfortunately timed third phase of their upgrade plan.
