A user in a Russian forum says that he has hacked and uploaded almost 6.5 million LinkedIn passwords, according to The Verge. Though his claim has yet to be confirmed, Twitter users are already reporting that they've found their hashed LinkedIn passwords on the list, security expert Per Thorsheim said.
Gack. Fuck. I hate LinkedIn.
My password isn’t in the list thank fuck.
And sha1 with no salt? wtf?
where did you find the list? all the links i’ve found have turned out to be dead ends.
I found the link on Slashdot.

It’s a rar of a 240MB text file. You need the sha1 of your password. Some other info here:

Mine isn’t in there, with or without the leading zeroes – so I wonder where the list came from?
mine wasn’t in there. but i think my wife’s is.
I’m changing my password on sites where I used the same one as LinkedIn just to be safe. Sigh. What a PITA!
ZOMG! Now EVERYONE will be able edit my online resumé! How will I manage to survive this? :P
