Just got a little email from LinkedIn which made me feel special. Looks like a lot of risk for very little reward.

Dear Kurt Taylor, |
|
We recently became aware that some LinkedIn passwords were
compromised and posted on a hacker website. We immediately launched an
investigation and we have reason to believe that your password was included in
the post. |
|
To the best of our knowledge, no email logins associated with the
passwords have been published, nor have we received any verified reports of
unauthorized access to any member̢۪s account as a result of this event. While a
small subset of the passwords was decoded and published, we do not believe yours
was among them. |
|
The security of your account is very important to us at LinkedIn.
As a precaution, we disabled your password, and advise you to take the following
steps to reset it. If you reset your password in the last two days, there is no
need for further action. |
|
1. Type www.linkedin.com/settings directly into your browser |
2. Type in your email address and press Sign In, no password
necessary |
3. Follow the on-screen directions to reset your password
|
|
Note: Do not reuse your old password when creating your new
password. |
If you have been using your old LinkedIn password on other sites,
we recommend that you change those passwords too. We appreciate your immediate
attention to resetting your password and apologize for the inconvenience.
|
|
Thank you, |
The LinkedIn Team |
