Attention to its members LinkedIn: Δεν αποτελεί καμία έκπληξη πια να βλέπουμε publications who report hacked social network accounts daily. You may recall that in 2012 a Russian hacker claimed to have access to millions of LinkedIn accounts.
Λοιπόν, όπως φαίνεται ο ίδιος hacker ξαναχτύπησε, και αυτή τη φορά διαθέτει προς πώληση τα 117 εκατομμύρια email και κωδικούς πρόσβασης που απέκτησε από χρήστες του LinkedΙn. Οι λογαριασμοί διατίθενται στο Dark Web μέσω ενός site που ονομάζεται The Real Deal για 5 bitcoin (2.200 δολάρια περίπου).
The hacker, nicknamed Peace, spoke to Motherboard and confirmed that these accounts came from a 2012 breach - proving that the social network never made the size of the hack known.
The hacker added that while the majority of passwords are encrypted or encrypted with the SHA1 algorithm, more than 90% are already cracked.
The Motherboard, for its part, has verified the hacker's claims and reports that the data sold actually affects network user accounts.
You may not have them data of your bank account to your LinkedIn profile, but the other information your account contains is still highly private and could potentially allow someone to exploit your identity.
So, it's probably best to change your password immediately, and if you use the same password on multiple websites, change it everywhere.
