[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Check your account and reset your password, apparently they were hacked and almost 7 million passwords were stolen. The passwords have been posted on the internet. If your password was one of the ones stolen, you should immediately change the password Here is a web page that will tell you if your password was one of those posted online: https://lastpass.com/linkedin/. It is safe to enter your password there [/quote] I would never enter a password there. In fact, that seems like a scam. The LinkedIn passwords are hashed. Hashes are not reversible. So, hackers hash known lists of words and compare the known and unknown hashes for matches. If everyone enters unhashed passwords into that form, they are just building a list to help find matched hashes and, hence, expose passwords. [/quote]
