Got LinkedIn?
Then change your passwords NOW

http://www.businessinsider.com/linkedin-hacked-2012-6

6.5 million encrypted LinkedIn passwords have leaked, reports Norwegian IT site Dagens IT (found via The Next Web).

The passwords were shared via a Russian hacker site, and security researcher Per Thorsheim confirms that the leak is legit.

LinkedIn hasn't offered any statement on the incident at the time of this writing, but we would strongly suggest changing your password

They are now saying the 6.5million are only a sample of the full 150million userbase and that all 150million was leaked.

I think the primary issue would be if you are in the habit of using the same password for multiple applications.

Thank you. Because GFY is moving faster than ever, I had not yet noticed the other Linkedin threads on page 1.

The latest thing is to claim that the profile owner has been kidnapped in a foreign country and try to get all the friends to send thousands of dollars.. at least that's what they do with facebook passwords.
