Can you provide an example?
Every time someone says that I've noticed either:
A) They missed the public notification.
B) Their security expectations aren't in line with a VPS environment where everything is controlled through a WAN control mechanism. [e.g. $200k worth of bitcoins stolen...why on earth aren't you using a colo box with your own dedicated hardware that you can be certain is as secure as you can possibly make it. That is something you can do with $2k and at most $200/month.]
- WestCoastJustin 13y agoWhat the hell are you talking about? a) Linode was extremely cavalier in releasing a public notification. It was all over slashdot and in their support channel, with ZERO notification from them (till long after the fact), leaving the community to assume the worst, which was inline with what actually happened.
- threeseed 13y agoThis is complete and utter nonsense. I was a Linode customer during their first security incident (Bitcoins stolen). I found out about it through Reddit. It was communicated to customers weeks after through a post to their status page. At no stage were customers informed via email and nobody knows to this day what exactly happened and what exactly has been done about it.
