“Dear Members,LinkedIn has allegedly been hacked and 6.5 Million users passwords have been uploaded onto the web!http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/9314622/LinkedIn-hack-how-to-choose-a-secure-password.htmlAs a precaution you may wish to change your password.

@rlmosca  Thanks for the info.

Remember: if your Linkedin Account password is similar to, or on the same lines as your password to any other public access place, you should change the password there as well. If they got the password database, who knows what else they seized.

I never heard of a real hack with this report, just that someone posted a bunch of passwords. I can make a list of passwords, that doesn’t mean the site was hacked.

@richardmclaughlin Hello Mac! The story was also reported at numerous tech sites with the fact that it wasn’t just a list of passwords, it was an encrypted list. Yes, anyone can post a list of passwords, but is anyone going to take the time to create an encrypted list with a few million passwords – most with “linkedin” or “harmony” included as part of them? That is a red flag I think. Apparently, according to Ars Technica and Wired, the site and the user are known for password hacking, though that should be taken with a grain of salt.

Anyway, just my two cents!
