[dundee] Linkedin RED ALERT

[Peter McDonald]

Sophos have pretty much confirmed the leak. Their account was amongst
those leaked and the hashed password matches the hash of the password
they use, They advise it was only used on the linkedin account.

You any of you luggers got Linkedin, i suggest you change the password
NOW! The password hashes have just been dumped.  If you recycle
passwords i suggest you change everything associated with that email
that is the same as your linkedin.  These things are being cracked at
surprising speed.

You'll see this become big news over the next 48hrs
