LinkedIn 2012 hacked account info released

[dlevere]

If you cast your minds back to the summer of 2012 then you’ll vaguely remember something about LinkedIn being hacked. Data was stolen and there were plenty of red faces in the social networks office, I’m sure.

Despite the huge scale of the hack, LinkedIn carried on and everything slowly got back to normal.

That is, until today. A hacker is advertising 117 million logins and passwords, from the breach back in 2012. What’s particularly odd (and potentially alarming) is that the number on offer is much larger than previously thought.

Here's a few tips you can do, right now, to ensure that your LinkedIn account is kept safe
