8 Million Passwords Exposed from LinkedIn, and Possibly eHarmony

LinkedIn has been comfirmed, and security experts believe that the dating site, eHarmony may be involved in the password dump as well. An unknown hacker posted the cryptographic hashes for the passwords, and has asked for help in decrypting them. He said in his post, “These are the ones I can’t crack.”

Someone with the username “dwdm” posted the information and in less than two hours, 76% of the posted list was hacked.

If you have an account on LinkedIn… change it now. I changed mine! I don’t have (or need, since I am happily married!) an account on eHarmony, but if you have one, change that one as well!
