If you use LinkedIn.com to keep track of professional connections, please continue reading. If not, please disregard.
Earlier today, it was confirmed that 6.5 million LinkedIn passwords were compromised and posted to a Russian hacker site. As of yet, LinkedIn has not yet notified its users; however, if you have an account on LinkedIn.com, there is a high probability that your LinkedIn password has been compromised and you should change it immediately.
As a reminder, you should never use your KUMC password or a derivative of it on any external website. Additionally, if you use the same password on LinkedIn and other websites, I recommend that you change your password on those other sites as well.
