My credit card was recently reissued without my request. The accompanying letter said it was being reissued to prevent fraud, as a merchant had recently disclosed a compromise. It did not say which merchant, but not I suspect it could have been linode. Has anyone else had this happen?

I'm not positive that it was Linode, but I received this email from my bank about the card I used for Linode (bank name removed):

"We were notified by a payment processor that your debit card information, such as your name, debit card number and expiration date may have been compromised. Unauthorized access to non-_____ systems may have occurred through a merchant where you shopped or dined, or by other fraudulent activity. Specific details about the compromise were not reported to _____."
