Linode also does not verify domain ownership before you add a domain to their DNS. And they also use the same nameservers for all accounts. So I think they're in the same boat as DO as far as this "vulnerability" is concerned.

I'm a long-time Linode customer and use them for all servers that run important services. I use DO for the less important stuff. But Linode has had a not-so-stellar record of data breaches.

Linode has had _far_ larger issues than DO ever has. That's why I switched to DO in the first place.

Same here. Please stay away from Linode. They used to be good. Now they are unprofessional and unethical.

I'm a new Linode user (as of this week) and have been happy so far. What are these problems you talk about? I'd like to know before I commit further.

There have been several critical issues. Search for 'linode hacked' on hn.algolia.com and see for yourself.

No one remembers how Linode tried to cover up getting hacked?

Gray hat. (Still doesn't justify the idiotic response from DO security team)

Linode has an awful track record for security.

So does DigitalOcean.
