Submission + - LinkedIn Uses FBI to Investigate 6.5 Million Password Leak (batblue.com)
JohnBert writes: "As reported last week, LinkedIn had 6.5 million users' passwords leaked. The company is now working with the FBI to track down the party responsible for stealing their data. None of the member information has been published other than a small list of passwords themselves. LinkedIn director, Vicente Silveira, stated that the company has disabled passwords of members who they believe were at risk and that they "take this criminal activity very seriously so we are working closely with the FBI as they aggressively pursue the perpetrators of this crime.""
