I find all the whining of all these armchair security experts a bit wearing. No one outside of Linode and the alleged hacker knows exactly why and how Linode was hacked so quit speculating, you are simply making things up. "Ooh, this is a bad thing, I bet Linode did this bad thing". For example people are suggesting that 2FA is useless if outsiders had free run of Linode's infrastructure, and so it would be. BUT, is there any evidence whatsoever that this was the case? If not then STFU and stop spreading lies. 2FA is useless against a nuclear strike, what exactly is the point of saying so? Anyone can fantasise disasters.
To get some positive content out of this thread. Is there a VM provider with a provably better security record than Linode?
If you are going to stay with Linode then 2FA seems like a no brainer. So, is there a simple way to get the 2FA iDevice systems (Google, Duo) to work on multiple devices, say to allow an iPad or an iPhone to be used interchangeably?
