    Exclamation LinkedIn Hacked

    In case if some of you haven't seen the news and have a LinkedIn user account, your password information maybe available to anyone on the internet.

    It's best if you change your password asap. I meant to post this yesterday but got slammed at work so I apologize in advance.

    Another good thing to check is your primary e-mail address and make sure it hasn't been changed so said hacker can't reset your password on you.

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Update - You can actually test if your password was stolen here: LastPass - LinkedIn Password Checker

    But it's still recommended you change your password anyways just in case.
