Last weekteam, on the Dark Web, a hacker provided the database with LinkedIn accounts for about $ 2.000 in bitcoin. The hacker stated that the base contained 117 million names and user names combinations from the 2012 tapping.
At that time, no one was sure if his code had been spyware, as only 6,5 had been leaked millions of encrypted passwords but without their corresponding names. Today, you can finally check whether you were one of the 164.611.595 million victims.
A security researcher named Troy Hunt, who runs a website for reporting his violations LinkedIn, has created a web application and allows everyone to check if their email or username was hacked in 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 the assurance from company that he has since yesterday changed all passwords to all victims of 2012, but in case you have not received notice via email from LinkedIn, you can double check from that website.
