Earlier in June, news that
more than 6.5 million passwords from LinkedIn were reported compromised. The
passwords are encrypted, but the criminals who stole them, posted them and
asked for help to crack the codes. Apparently they are in a format that makes
them relatively easy to break.
If you haven't already done so, please update your LinkedIn password, which is even more important if you use the same password on LinkedIn as you do on other sites.
In addition, you can use a password
management plugin on your browser to store and generate unique passwords and
keep them safely encrypted in one place, protected by a single strong password.
