Recent Linode hacking (it.slashdot.org)

What really happened here?

I read the IRC chat log and the person that reported the issue seems to have been met with some hostility by the Linode staff. I will be changing my CC info and migrating off of Linode.

Linode seems to be incredibly hostile toward this vuln reporter.

Granted the reporter was a bit of a asshat but stolen CC info is no joke.

Has anyone else seen or heard anything else about this?
