If you guys have a linked-in account, I suggest changing your password now.

More then 6.5 million passwords/hashes released online by some Russian hacker

Sophos security expert Graham Cluley is advising LinkedIn users to change their passwords as soon as possible, at least as a precaution. If the report is true, then hackers are undoubtedly working hard to decrypt the hashed, or unsalted, passwords.
 
Wow, glad I was too lazy to set up my linked-in account now.
 
I'm glad I'm not professional enough for a Linked-In account.
 
The victims of this heinous crime had this to say: "I have a Linked-In account?"
 
I have never even heard of Linked-In until now
 
Well, now I know why I couldn't get into my account...thanks for the advice!
 
Cool thanks for the heads up, I've just changed my password. Not that I use it but better to be safe than sorry
 
"Linked-In, when you've ran out of ways to compromise your privacy on Facebook"
 
Changed my password, although I don't have any information worth hacking my account for.
 
I always get invites to join Linked-In but I never got around to joining.

Being lazy - 1 hackers - 0
