Considering quitting my LinkedIn account atm - storing unsalted hashes nowadays should be considered a major offense. Just brainless.

If you need to find out whether your password has leaked, you can safely use PHP's sha1() function and then google the hash.

I've already found mine but that didn't really surprise me since it's probably among the first 1000 tested in a dictionary attack anyway - LinkedIn didn't seem to require a more 'serious' password, and right I was as it seems.
