LinkedIn users beware: your data may not be safe

Share
In a recent blog post, the business-oriented social network warned users to change their passwords immediately to avoid any privacy breaches.
Earlier in 2012, Linkedin said that some 6.5 million user records had been hacked. However, this week it learned that the data breach was, in fact, much larger.
“Yesterday, we were told that email and hashed password combinations of more than 100 million LinkedIn members had been leaked from the 2012 data theft,” LinkedIn’s Cory Scott said in a blog post.
Security blogger Brian Krebs wrote that even though LinkedIn had strengthened security for its database following the 2012 leak, users should still change their passwords as a precaution.
