Hi,
Well, for those of us who use LinkedIn (a well known professional social networking website) there's a bad news. I don't know how many of us already are aware of this, but I thought I should share it here.
Around 6.5 million LinkedIn account passwords (unsalted SHA-1 hashes) were allegedly leaked, and many of those have already been cracked.
An update by LinkedIn: Here
Was your password leaked?
Found this tool (referred by few articles & well known tech websites) to check if your password is affected: Here
The idea of this thread is to inform you about the mishappening & give you a caution notice about your passwords & privacy on the internet.
