Potential leak of 6.5 million LinkedIn passwords

It is becoming apparent in the news today that 6.5 million passwords have potentially been leaked from LinkedIn. Whilst this does not represent the full LinkedIn database of 150 million plus users, it is still a sizable amount. The passwords have not been leaked in a text format, but hashed, but this does not mean that they are 'uncrackable.'

Whilst LinkedIn have yet to make an official comment, it is advised as a precautionary measure that you changed your LinkedIn Password to prevent unauthorised access.

A brilliance at work the writer actually is, I do not know when he convinced me. Best thing is the archive feature acts as a quick recommendation to old and relative things. I cannot help but wonder why such advices were not made already. The posts are associated and edifying. I adore how the pictures paint a story in themselves.
