Millions of LinkedIn users are getting email services with guidance for immediate password change.
A data leak that would have happened in July 2012 may have affected 167 million accounts.
LinkedIn acknowledges that in 2012, its servers were hacked, resulting in the leakage of passwords.
In addition, the company issued notices to advise others to do the same as a precautionary measure.
Several beads can be most affected.
It also claims to have access to the data of 167,370,910 accounts.
If the number of accounts is so broad, why was only available data made available?
Because of this, people with knowledge on the subject do not have difficulty identifying passwords.
The reinforcement service is progressively invalidating passwords for all accounts created by 2012.
The same has been done for the accounts which have not been updated since that year.
But as the damage is done, it will do everything possible to protect.
