Linode Hacked, Credit Cards and Passwords Leaked

Posted by samzenpus on from the protect-ya-neck dept.

An anonymous reader writes "On Friday Linode announced a precautionary password reset due to an attack despite claiming that they were not compromised. The attacker has claimed otherwise, claiming to have obtained card numbers and password hashes. Password hashes, source code fragments and directory listings have been released as proof. Linode has yet to comment on or deny these claims."

    There isn't a service on the internet that is un-hackable. You're a moron to think otherwise. Besides it looks like the breach was beyond their direct control and was a flaw in cold fusion.

    Shut up M$ shill. Linux can't be hacked. Only Windows has the swiss-cheese security model that you talk about.
    Linux is inherently secure due to its Unix and POSIX heritage.
