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:

· 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

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

SECURITY ALERT: LinkedIn Password Leak

Over the last few days, there have been reports that 6.5 million
LinkedIn hashed and encrypted passwords have reportedly been leaked.

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

Wonder if Yahoo email have same problem most of my spam comes through

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.

Nope, Yahoo and other instant sign-up places are wide open; sign up and
spam away.

SECURITY ALERT: LinkedIn Password Leak

addresses. Just received me first spam to the linkedin address.

Time to remove it from the aliases list.

Hi,

At SP Casino we have recently had several massive wins at our
Progressive Jackpot Slots including a Canadian player who won $ 1
million at Mega Moolah. ..................

Nope, Yahoo and other instant sign-up places are wide open; sign up and

All Yahoo has to do is limited TO:, CC and BCC to 6 people?
Make them useless to spammers

Good link on how to add salt to SHA-1

Q: What has Tony Abbott promised Murdoch?
A: A broadband network that will be so slow as to offer no competition to his pay TV interests.

Can you prove this Pizzle, or just another of your childish conspiracy
theories?

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
populated state that maybe, this though is destroying manufacturing
industries in Australia's large population Eastern states.

Non-of this is ever mentioned in our Fairfax press
Murdochs only profitable media is Sky and his TV interests
Why the bias what's his deal?
Recently Tony Blair stated what is know about how Mudoch is capable of
changing governments and he uses his press to do it.

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.

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

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.

He promises to repeal the carbon tax. For me that makes him the only
electable piece of crap in the political toilet bowl.

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

 

[Rod Speed]

That last is completely silly.

Like hell it ever did.

How odd that it isnt where they have fiber to the home.

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.

While I agree the carbon tax is a big mistake I am
not desperate enough to believe Abbott in anything.

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.

 

[terryc]

[Petzl]

Not according to Tony Blair, Paul Keating and any other leader who
falls foul of the press. It's their business to know this.

Like hell it ever did.

You read it?

How odd that it isnt where they have fiber to the home.

Not a "norm" yet and there are few Internet household devices that
allow it. Just in its infancy "Smart TV's I don't think are fully
interactive nor are phones the "Jetsons phone" will be a norm

You place your order you see on it and a electric van delivers it.

We are going back to the corner store we had as kids, we rarely went
shopping those days a phone call we made the order to "Mr Jones" who
then delivered it. Milk truck did the same
That's already happening to degrees

Not seen anyone one with 21st century Internet in Australia have you?
Would you know what it was?

regardless of what a few fools like you want to see.

Still to many People like me not prepared to vote mainstream politics
with "Greens" and Independents deciding who will get Government. The
reason Gillard is in now is only because none trusts Abbott (rightly
so)

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

Yes voters don't have a say. That's what I said?

Completely off with the fucking fairys, as always.

Major majority seem to agree with me Rod!
Glad you know what "normal" is?
