LinkedIn confirmed Wednesday that it’s investigating the apparent breach of its password databases. An attacker uploaded a list of 6.5 million encrypted LinkedIn passwords to a Russian hacking forum earlier this week. LinkedIn has disabled all passwords that were known to be divulged on an online forum. Security experts have advised all LinkedIn users to change their password immediately. In related password-breach news, eHarmony confirmed that some of its members’ passwords had also been obtained by an attacker, after the passwords were uploaded to password-cracking forums.”]
