Outside of the standard SSD drives, DO has not had any major data breaches that I'm aware of. That's a pretty big one. At this point recommending Linode to a company I work for seems borderline negligent considering their security history.
- kyrra 13y agoDO had the issue where you could delete a droplet without scrubbing the disk. So the next person to create in that area could read the disk and recover any data from it.
- dangero 13y agoTo me that doesn't seem comparable to clear text passwords being stolen at all.
- rimantas 13y agoAnd recent events make recommending to use TLS and OpenSSL seem borderline negligent too, considering their security history, right?
- dangero 13y agoThat's a slippery slope. By that logic no company can be critiqued for security failures. Linode was storing their shell passwords in clear text. To me that's where I draw the line. On the other hand, if there were good alternatives to OpenSSL the community probably would be talking about considering them right now.
