Post your comments for Last FM Tells Users to Change Passwords After Suspected Hack here

I'm wondering when PCWorld is planning to report on the hacking of LinkedIn passwords, of which CNN reported three days ago that 6.5 million passwords were downloaded, and 60% are estimated to have been deciphered already.

Also remarkable is LinkedIn's failure to notify all of its users of this major security breach. I have yet to receive any message from the site for my account.

PC World has been reporting on the LinkedIn breach for some time. For their part, LinkedIn have reported that only a subset of users are affected, and that those users have been notified. So no news == good news, it would seem.

I find it to be a little surprising as well that I received no notice to this breach. Even if my account was not targeted, I'd still like to be kept informed so I can change my password for extra piece of mind. And as a last.fm user, I can report I have received no emails from the company. I did see a notice ON the website, but it's not one I regularly visit.

I checked on LeakedIn.org and indeed my password was one included in the leak (though not yet cracked apparently), however I have received no notification from LinkedIn.
