ALERT: LinkedIn, Twitter Tainted by Gawker Hack
Gawker got hacked. Twitter and LinkedIn were compromised. Is your online identity safe?
Is it too coincidental to be a coincidence? When I checked my email this morning, I found a message from LinkedIn telling me that my account had been disabled temporarily – and to change my password. This comes the morning after Gawker admitted to being hacked, requiring 1.5 million users to change their passwords.
The disease spread quickly and to places that you wouldn’t expect.
Users who had the same username/password combinations on Gawker that they did on other sites seem to have been at greater risk.
