All, I know that this is not really a forum for linkedin, but I know many people with ACFUG use it. It has been hacked and its password table has been compromised. Story here: http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/06/10-or-so-of-the-worst-passwords-exposed-by-the-linkedin-hack/
Now is the time to change your password on LinkedIn as well as any site you use with the same credentials. Rumor has it that Linkedin was using a simple hash (without any salt) and that the passwords have been cracked with the rainbow tables. Another site cropped up called www.Leakedin.org with a list of cracked passwords. ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
