What are they supppose to say?
Looks like someone who likes attention on some random IRC channel who is apparently a hacker may have hacked our system and we don't know who/when/where/why/how or what they may have got. Nor are we sure we were even hacked???
It takes time for people to investigate stuff. It's not just a couple hours. Also some random guys words on IRC (who could very well own INSERT RANDOM HOSTING COMPANY for all we know and looking to scare people off Linode) should be taken with a grain of salt.
