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."

    Linode hacked again!? Seriously, for the premium they're charging, beefing up security might do well to be added to their todo list.

    ColdFusion got exploited which is made by our friends at Adobe who just love riddling their products with security flaws.

    Your friends at Adobe published a lockdown guide that Linode ignored and patched this exploit months ago (also ignored by Linode) Adobe has done their part, but they can't force admins to secure their servers properly and install patches.

    What is Linode? Would it kill an editor to include that in TFS?
