LinkedIn password security breach
Hey all,
Some of you may have a LinkedIn account (Similar to Facebook but for networking in a business sense). A number of accounts have been compromised by a hacker and your account may be amongst them.
You can either go to LastPasses password checker and see if your password was on the published list of stolen passwords or you can go to LinkedIn and change your password there for peace of mind.
Many people use the same password on multiple accounts across the internet. It would be wise to change passwords if your LinkedIn account has been breached.
Not using the names of loved ones, pets, sports teams or other easily guessed passwords is a top priority and a mixture of UPPER CASE and lower case with some numbers helps make it very difficult for someone to steal your accounts and possibly banks details and other things associated with them.
Best of luck and I hope no-one here has love their accounts or worse.

But the thing is, we've taken away all the things that can possibly have happened, so I suppose the only thing that's left, even though it seems really weird, must be the thing that did happen, in fact. (Miss Marple)
