LONDON — Business social network LinkedIn and online dating service eHarmony said Wednesday that some of their users' passwords were stolen and millions appear to have been leaked onto the Internet.

LinkedIn Corp. did not say how many of the more than six million passwords that were distributed online corresponded to LinkedIn accounts. In a blog post Wednesday, the company said it was continuing to investigate.

Might want to start changing passwords in case the below paragraph effects you....

There's added concern that many people use the same password on multiple websites, so whoever stole the data could use the information to access Gmail, Amazon, PayPal and other accounts, Cluley said.

After changing your password, you can check to see if yours was one of the stolen passwords here: https://lastpass.com/linkedin/

This site will hash your password and compare it to the leaked password database. It's kind of fun to randomly try words to see what kinds of passwords people are using. I wouldn't be surprised if "copropahgia" was in there.

I still think VTE is using that as a password for one of his EB aliases.
