Guys, c'mon, it's not that complicated. The folks at Linode either know or believe that it was the same people behind both the swatting and download of the old server. The server sounds like it belonged to someone on the Linode staff, and had a forgotten backup of some older data. It's lame, but it happens. This part is nice: > "We know how important transparency is and how we’ve needed to do a better job with it in the past, and well … this is the story." It sounds like they might've taken some criticism of their past handling of events to heart. If this post is indicative of how they'll be handling future incidents ... good. It's timely, it gets right to the point of what happened and who was affected and how they responded, and it doesn't seem to be trying to conceal anything.
