Vendor rated this none; a Hacker News thread about it drew 197 points and 109 comments. Linode Security Incident (opens in new tab)

This is an automated signal, not a finding. It compares the vendor’s own impact rating with public Hacker News activity (points, comments in the first hour, distinct commenters, first-hand symptom reports). HN users skew technical, so the impact on any one customer may differ. How this is computed.
