I blame brie.



All activity by the intruder was limited to a total of eight customers, all of which had references to "bitcoin".  The intruder proceeded to compromise those Linode Manager accounts, with the apparent goal of finding and transferring any bitcoins.  Those customers affected have been notified.  If you have not received a notification then your account is unaffected.  Again, only eight accounts were affected.

According to arstechnica the total worth was $228,000. Not too bad.
