LinkedIn Security Breach

LinkedIn - professional networking site - has reported that they may have lost up to 6 million passwords.

Brian Kelly, Chief Security Officer at Quinnipiac has this to share:

Many media outlets are reporting over 6 million passwords were stolen from the social network site Linked In.While Linked In has said affected customers will also receive a note from LinkedIn with more information on what happened, please consider changing your Linked in password as soon as possible.
We have analyzed the publicly available table of compromised Linked in passwords and found some of our own passwords.
To change your password on Linked in· Log into Linked in from a web browser
· click your name in the upper right hand corner of the browser· Select "Settings", then Account Settings,
· and finally "Change Password"

Good advice (and advice that I took yesterday and did change my LinkedIn password.
