The professional social network would be made to steal passwords more than six million
Update (6: 05 pm): LinkedIn confirms the flight of "some password". Concerned users received an email (on the address provided at registration) detailing how to get a new password and secure their account.
If you have a LinkedIn account, it is advisable to change your password as a precaution. The yard specialized site indicates that a Russian user says he hacked and recovered more than 6.5 million passwords of accounts on the professional social network, which represents about 4% of the profiles. He also argues published this consistent database on the Internet.
LinkedIn is to address the issue. The social network has tweeté this Wednesday afternoon: "our team continues to investigate, but at the present time, cannot us yet confirm we have been victims of a security hole." "Stay tuned."
Our team continues to investigate, but at this time, we're still unable to confirm that any security breach has occurred. Stay tuned here.

If the information is confirmed, be aware that published passwords seem to be associated with no e-mail address. In addition, they were not clear but in encrypted form, according to security experts.
Decidedly, the day was difficult for LinkedIn. On Wednesday, the social network was also required to complete an update of its mobile application following the discovery of a security hole before they broke out the case of stolen passwords.
