Yesterday we mentioned to leak 167 million LinkedIn accounts and passwords to Dark Web.
The leaked passwords were hashed with the SHA1 algorithm, a strong data encryption algorithm, but if one has enough time and resources one can break.
Note that at the time of hack (2012) LinkedIn did not have salted passwords, which means that there were no random bits in the encrypted data to make it harder to break.
LeakedSource is a websiteσελίδα which publishes leaks of data breaches, and it appears that it has already cracked most of these passwords. So he published the Top 49 most used social network passwords.
We should remind, that in 2012, the social network είχε ζητήσει από όλους τους χρήστες να αλλάξουν τους κωδικούς τους, αλλά αναγνώρισε δημόσια ότι είχαν επηρεαστεί "μόνο" 6,5 εκατομμύρια λογαριασμοί.
