Last week, on Dark Web, a hacker provided the database with his accounts social media for about $2.000 in bitcoins. The hacker stated that the base contained 117 million combinations of user names and passwords from interception carried out on 2012.
At the time, no one was sure if their code had been hacked, as they had been leaked to the internet.network only 6,5 million encrypted passwords, but without their respective names. Today, you can finally check if you too were one of the 164.611.595 million victims.
A security researcher named Troy Hunt, who runs a website for reporting his violations social mediahas created a web application and allows everyone to check whether his email or username has violated 2012.
The site has a name haveibeenpwned.com (Have I Been Pwned?) and contains all the stolen database. Just fill in the email or username you used to sign in to the linkedIn and let you know if you were a victim or not.
Of course, there is an assurance from the company that it has changed all passwords from yesterday to all 2012 victims, but if you have not received an email notification from LinkedIn, you can double-check it from this site .
