If you didn't cancel the credit card you used for linode.com, now is the time

I have been a victim of procrastination. Since linode have been compromised, i promised my self i would cancel the credit card and get a new one. Well I didn't, eventually I just stopped thinking about it.

On May 28 checked my card account and I see multiple charges for large amounts. (cash converters, groceries, cheese, and so on). Note this is all done overseas.

How do I know this is from linode?

For my online transactions I use prepaid cards that are easy to dispose of, and this card was used solely for linode.

Advice: If you are still on linode and didn't cancel your credit card, well you should.
