"Social networking website LinkedIn is investigating claims that over six million of its users' passwords have been leaked onto the internet.

Hackers posted a file containing encrypted passwords onto a Russian web forum.

They have invited the hacking community to help with decryption.

LinkedIn, which has over 150 million users, has not released a formal statement, but tweeted: "Our team is currently looking into reports."

Saw the phishing emails connected to this attack. I personally received at least a dozen or more over the past few weeks.

I got a ton of them, but use a variation of my gmail addy (with a dot randomly) so I know what is fake and not. Someone in my network fell for it and has been posting spam all week
