[LINK] Millions of LinkedIn passwords leaked online

[Dr Bob Jansen]

Reports on the BBC indicated that the file was encrypted and placed on a hacker site and asking for assistance in decrypting it.

Coincidentaly, this morning I got an email from LinkedIn asking me to confirm my primary email address. Needless to say, I ignored this request and changed my password.
