News LinkedIn possibly Hacked. Change your Passwords.

[AdultKing]

A hacker is trying to sell the account information, including emails and passwords, of 117 million LinkedIn users.

The hacker, who goes by the name ?Peace,? told Motherboard that the data was stolen during the LinkedIn breach of 2012. At the time, only around 6.5 million encrypted passwords were posted online, and LinkedIn never clarified how many users were affected by that breach.

Turns out it was much worse than anybody thought.

Peace is selling the data on the dark web illegal marketplace The Real Deal for 5 bitcoin (around $2,200). The paid hacked data search engine LeakedSource also claims to have obtained the data. Both Peace and the one of the people behind LeakedSource said that there are 167 million accounts in the hacked database. Of those, around 117 million have both emails and encrypted passwords.

I guess it depends on your industry, because I find it invaluable.

I find their way for connection a bit absurd - it would be useful if i could connect with people which i haven't contacted previously, since if i already communicating with people whose e-mail adress i know (which is a requirement for adding someone). Ofcourse there is premium account but even if i can add someone without knowing their e-mail address do not mean how they will give a fuck.

You can be introduced to people via your connections, some people are also LIONs, which means they will accept any request.

There are also other ways to connect with people, for example LinkedIn groups.

Why not just use a different password for each account you have online? Download Keepass and store your master password files in a safe place.
