question is how did linus let the account get hacked?
My guess, like everyone else, he had a horribly predictable password (and probably uses the same one for everything he does).
Yep, back when I used to play Red Alert 2 very competitively they had a "Hacking" problem. Which consisted of numerous people with passwords like 12345678, 87654321, password, their screen name, their screen name spelled backwards, ect... 20 out of the top 50 accounts were stolen within a week or two once people started trying to take other peoples accounts.
