Many of the LinkedIn emails alerts instructing users on how to reset passwords accessed by hackers were dumped into spam boxes. The alerts were sent after hackers last week accessed about 6.5 million hashed passwords from a LinkedIn database. LinkedIn has confirmed the password compromise but released few details about the incident. The company has said that it has completed a “long-planned transition” from merely hashing passwords to a system that both hashes and salts passwords. The latest LinkedIn update repeats much of the information that was included in previous notes.”]
