So, no one has said boo about the LinkedIn breach?
They have on ~5 other lists I'm on.
The bell curve predicts that our community will have people with breached
passwords on that site, and some percentage of those people reuse those same
passwords elsewhere. If not true for you, it is likely true for the user
community you serve.
Mine was there, but was unique to LinkedIn. It has since been changed.
What I have passed on to our communications folks about getting a message out:
I remain somewhat unconvinced that this is necessary when my elderly mother has
seen the media coverage-- it's been VERY well publicized.
Thoughts?
In addition, unless LinkedIn has fixed the hole that let them grab the
passwords, changing passwords just gives the bad guys another password of
yours to play with.
