1 year of free hosting as compensation for damage done.

I'm pretty sure it is only an effort to repair the bad press that they got, since their T&C state that they aren't liable for anything.

What I'd rather see is a breakdown in excruciating detail of a) the reason it happened in the first place (security vulnerability details), b) exactly what fixes have been made to correct the issue (firing bad employee, tweaking PHP config, auditing firewall rules, etc), and c) an independent security audit and the results posted publicly.

Yes, getting a couple hundred thousand dollars of assets stolen is, well, inconvenient.

Ouch.  That has to sting.  So "generous" of them to offer a whole year of service.  I will never do business with Linode.

They knew we would never do business with Linode again. So the credit is pretty much worthless.

Dear Zhou,

The entire Linode team would like to sincerely apologize for the security incident that affected your account. We let you down, and this is not the quality of service that we ourselves and our customers expect and deserve.

We want you to know that security has always been one of Linode's top priorities. Our entire team has dedicated themselves these past few weeks towards improving our procedures and policies relating to platform security.

As an act of good faith we have applied one year of service credit to your account. All of us are truly sorry for any inconvenience you incurred. We appreciate your business and hope that you will continue to host with Linode in the future.

Sincerely,

Thomas Asaro
Vice President
Linode
