Having password or not is not matter of topic of IBM-MAIN.
There are really a lot of things which do have passwords and are
absolutely unrelated to mainframes.
We are here to discuss mainframe issues, not password problems on
popular portal(s).
However in case of security breach on IBM.com systems I would be happy
to know it, because it's related to my job and to mainframe activities
at all (i.e. software orders, SCRT report submission, CoD, etc.).

Hammers, football games, and panties don't usualy have passwords. LinkedIn
isn't as pervasive as Yahoo, but does serve a higher value clientel, at least
in the US.
Major portals such as Yahoo, Google+, Hotmail, etc all do and I would say that
getting the word out about a major breech is a service to the community and a
slap to the bad guys.
Think about it: let's say you cop a million passwords, but before you can
exploit them, most all are changed. So, what was the point? A lot of hard word
for just a few presumably inactive passwords.

LinkedIn Users: Change Password Now
Attackers appear to have obtained--and may have already decrypted--at
least 6.5 million LinkedIn passwords.
How is it related to IBM mainframes?
Hint: Maybe some mainframers do use this portal, but mainframers also use VISA
cards, hammers, watch football, wear panties (or not), etc.
