I can't find anything in that dump dated beyond 2009. Isn't this just the old dump, posted again?
I don't understand, I'm not really seeing anything interesting in the SQL dumps, were they scrubbed of most of their rows? It looks like most of the tables are severely outdate/deprecated tables that were once used for testing but no more. E.g. users, customers, etc..
This looks like their forum server (phpbb). I'm not listed on here (been a customer of linode for a few years, and on the forums). I see no posts or anything with my info (or text from posts I've made).

Also, looking through the post data on there, it's all from 2003. And I can't find any of the posts listed in this sql dump on their active DB. I see nothing exciting here.

That is really scary. I mean, yikes. Credit Cards in plain text? In 2014? Come on guys...
Plain text credit card numbers in the file, usual linode quality.
It almost seems like you have some sort of a vendetta against Linode. To be pissed about their security is one thing, to hate them is another.
