What isn't in this post:
- Any mention of the claim that they had made a deal with the hackers. No attempt to deny the claim.
- Any mention of when the systems were compromised or when they discovered that they were compromised. The post starts with "Yesterday," mentions working "around the clock" and mentions Friday, giving the impression that this is all very recent, when according to the hacker Linode has known for two weeks.
- ScottWhigham 13y agoIf it was your company and you had decided to make a deal with the hackers, would you publicize or publicly address that fact? My thinking is that doing so would incentivize others to do similar acts because you are an easy mark.
- cjh_ 13y agoI find it somewhat worrying that they haven't directly address the points of the hacker's claim. I am particularly interested to find out whether linode did enter into a deal with the hackers.
