Today's WSJ reported in the Digits column that encrypted LinkedIN passwords had been leaked. Decryption efforts have been successful against some subset of these passwords.
I was disappointed to see no acknowledgement on the LinkIn site. (I just found it buried in the clutter. Its a link to CBS news??) The passwords may not be attached to account names. Still they will likely be added to the lists of passwords in cracking tool-kits. (I know a lot of people on this list use LinkedIn so I figure this is relevant.) -- Lloyd Kvam Venix Corp DLSLUG/GNHLUG library http://dlslug.org/library.html http://www.librarything.com/catalog/dlslug http://www.librarything.com/catalog/dlslug&sort=stamp http://www.librarything.com/rss/recent/dlslug _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
