LinkedIn still hasn't confirmed it yet, but two security firms have independently confirmed that the password breach is genuine. As many as 6.5 million passwords (or 4% of the total LinkedIn user base) may have been compromised.
Just as an aside, how many of you use/comfortable with using something like Mint.com? I just signed up for it yesterday because I think it would be a great tool in the long-term for analyzing your own cash flow trends but I'm a little skeptical about having all my information locked into one place...especially with shit like this goin down
muahaha now that i have 4% of the linkedin user base in the palm of my hand nothing can stop me from changing their names to poopiebrains so they look unprofessional
haha well, the real danger here would be if the hackers are actually able to link the passwords to the e-mails that are used to register on the website...assuming most people use the same passwords for all/most of their accounts. would be really f'ing annoying to have to go through and change them
