SECURITY ALERT: LinkedIn Password Leak

Important Alert Regarding Reports of Password Leakage with LinkedIn

______________________________________________________________________________

Over the last few days, there have been reports that 6.5 million
LinkedIn hashed and encrypted passwords have reportedly been leaked.
LinkedIn is home to more than 100 million users, suggesting the alleged
breach is limited to less than 10% of the professional social network’s
user base; however, it will still affect a huge number of users.

LinkedIn mobile app subscribers may be surprised to learn that the
calendar entries on their iPhones or iPads— which may include details
about meeting locations, participants, dial-in information, passwords
and sensitive meeting notes — are transmitted back to LinkedIn’s servers
without their knowledge.

WHAT SHOULD USERS DO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE?

As a good security practice, regardless of whether you have been
affected or not:

ˇ Change Your LinkedIn password immediately –

o Log into your LinkedIn account

o Mouse over your name at the top right of any page in LinkedIn

o Select Settings

o You may be asked to log in, even though you are already logged in

o Click on ‘Change’ new Password

o Follow directions

ˇ If you use the same password for other sites, we strongly
suggest changing it on those sites as well

Hashed and encrypted. Hopefully a good hash (sha256 etc).
Pretty much impossible to reconstruct the original password from the
hash. I'd say the threat is negligible.

Depends on whether you have a bot net working for you

Apparently the passwords are hashed with unsalted SHA1 - not so good

That's now reaching the end of its shelf life. Hopefully they have a
migration plan to introduce a stronger hash, this time with a salt.

Read any Fairfax Paper and judge.
The Economy is doing better than at any time during Howard Liberal.
Better than any county in USa or Europe and how is this reported?
Mines for instance are being touted really good which for our lowest

Pointless. There's a reason the share price is 10% of what it once was.

and judge.

Did that, yours is a bare faced lie.

The Economy is doing better than at any time during Howard Liberal.

Another bare faced pig ignorant lie.

Better than any county in USa or Europe and how is this reported?

Irrelevant to your bare faced lies.

Mines for instance are being touted really good

They are. Its why we didn't even get a recession from the GFC.

which for our lowest populated state that maybe,

No maybe about it.

this though is destroying manufacturing industries
in Australia's large population Eastern states.
http://www.world-classminers.com.au/economy

Hasn't destroyed the car industry, liar.

Non-of this is ever mentioned in our Fairfax press

Because it's a lie.

Murdochs only profitable media is Sky and his TV interests

Another bare faced pig ignorant lie.

Why the bias

Just another of your pig ignorant lies.

what's his deal?

There is no deal. His shit rags have always been shit rags.

Recently Tony Blair stated what is know about
how Mudoch is capable of changing governments

Blair never ever said anything of the sort, liar.

and he uses his press to do it.

Just another bare faced lie.

example < http://tinyurl.com/d2z7m8g

Just because some fool claims something, doesn't make it gospel.

Why is Abbott link to his cronies in HSU and

For starters you are quoting Mainstream news media, which has vested
interests,
and is a joke on all sides and really only for the sheep out there. It
is not just Murdoch
it is ALL of them.

If they actually claim that the economy is doing better now than at
any
time during Howard liberal era then they are plain lying, and have
totally lost the plot
the mid 2000s were some of the best economic times in my memory since
the 1970's boom.

Pity the poor retards who believe these papers, invest or make
decisions on this basis and
ultimately lose it all = usually to the banksters who arrange for them
to publish this total crap.

That is true, as long as fucksticks continue to believe mainstream
corporate media
they will continue call the shots. When people think for themselves,
get real
and act accordingly, only then will we have any sort of a future and
stability.

That is what one of my signatures inferred. Big threat to this will be
the NBN where everything like interactive TV's will be a norm and
social media or your choice of "news" which you can give uncensored
feedback on. Many other businesses will be built on NBN as well. The
same opposition to the laying of power lines happen in Australia early
20th century.

While I agree the carbon tax is a big mistake I am not desperate
enough to believe Abbott in anything. Makes me wonder who does now run
Labor and Liberal they must have better representatives than they
force us to vote for non are for Australia. My only desicision is
which party comes last on my ballot paper or do I just put it in blank

Pigs arse it ever did. And that's nothing like the NBN anyway.

The reason we don't need the NBN is that almost all of
us have very decent broadband available if we want it.

No desperation involved and the voters will give Juliar
and her govt the bums rush as comprehensively as they
gave the NSW and QLD govts the bums rush anyway
regardless of what a few fools like you want to see.

Makes me wonder who does now run Labor and Liberal

No one does. Political partys cant work like that, fool.

Completely off with the fucking fairys, as always.

You have always been, and always will
be, completely and utterly irrelevant.

How you might or might not vote in spades.
