Do they have the matching username to every password?
How can I check if I'm on the hacked list, any direct link to the list?
There's no way really, as the hash list passed around is incomplete. Since it is incomplete, any such check would be in vain (just because you're not on the incomplete list doesn't make you safe, since your password might already be cracked regardless).A word of warning BTW: Do not enter you password to any "online checker". Such scams will inevitably pop up soon after incidents like this. Many will happily give out their passwords to such services.. .. uh oh.
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.
The unsalted SHA-1 password hashes of linkedin.com service have been posted to a hacker forum.While there is no way to verify if this is for real, it so far does look legit.As a precaution all linkedin.com users should change their passwords - NOW.
