linkedin.com password hashes leaked - change your password

[LoadWB]

Salted or not, I'm just happy to find out that they DO hash their passwords instead of storing them in plain-text.  I had a complex password before, and now it's even more complex.  Makes using the mobile site difficult but, oh well.

Another thing to note is that if you used the same password for other things, change those right away and destroy that password.  A while back a comparison was made between several leaked password lists and it was found that something like 83% of credentials were shared across multiple services... including the email account to which the other accounts were linked.

I just saw today KeePass, a password manager is available as well on smartphones

Thanks.  Generally speaking I dismiss recommendations like this because I don't run Phone, Android, or iPhone, so some of my capabilities are stymied by my insistence on sticking with a feature phone.

Lo and behold!

Welp, dammit, my password is definitely in the list.
