Cloud-based hosting provider Linode has been under DDoS attack for about two weeks. Linode says it has expired all Linode Manager passwords as a “precaution” after two customers’ credentials appear to have been pilfered.

The resetting of the old passwords will invalidate the old credentials, the company says in a blog post.”]
