LinkedIn has been hacked and someone has claimed they’ve stolen 6.64 million passwords. There’s not much you can do about it, except to log in to LinkedIn and change your password!

This article explains the situation more in-depth and demonstrates how to change your LinkedIn password: Mashable Article.

Let us know if you have any questions and we’d be happy to answer them!... Read More
