Alert: Possible LinkedIn Breach

Today it was reported that there was a possible LinkedIn breach, and 6.5 million LinkedIn user’s passwords were leaked to a Russian hacker forum.

Tip 1- If you are a LinkedIn user, you should change your current password.


Tip 2- You should change any other account password that shares the same password as your LinkedIn account (as we pointed out on Twitter, our research indicates that this is a majority of folks). For example, if you use the same password for LinkedIn and your online banking account, it may now be possible for these hackers to know both. Protect yourself and change your password!
