Heard that the top level domain linode.com was black holed due to its association with malicious activity [...]
Reading this sentence, reminded me of Google using Linode when that incident happened with Chinese hackers.

"No Linodes were involved in malicious activity related to this event. In fact, it was Google itself that chose to use Linode to aid in their investigation of the attacks"

- MrHyde 17y agoSo, McAfee identifies a single node as "associated" with the incident: li107-40[dot]members[dot]linode[dot]com. And Linode has a post which specifically references a single node being associated but under Google's control and not malicious control at all times. Doesn't appear to me that there's any contradiction. There is no evidence that a Linode was used for anything malicious. There is evidence that a Linode was used.
