117 million LinkedIn Emails and Passwords are on sale on DarkWeb


There was a hack in LinkedIn databases in 2012 which still cause problems to users. As you may or may not remember that many time passed when hackers broke into the LinkedIn's network in 2012 and about 6.5 million encrypted passwords and posted it to the Russian hacker forums. As many of the passwords were stored as unsalted SHA-1 hashes, hundreds of thousands were quickly cracked.The passwords are encrypted with 'no salt' which makes them easier to crack.

That hacking is still creating problems for LinkedIn users as many of the users didn't change their passwords yet.

By the way, it was an old news. I just wanted to remind you.
Now the main topic and the latest news is that a Hacker knows by the name "Peace" is trying to sell a huge LinkedIn database which contains 167 million LinkedIn users account on a dark web(dark market) called TheRealDeal just only for 5 Bitcoins or $2,200. In all of these 167 million accounts database, only 117 million accounts data include both email and password encrypted.


=>So now, in my advice change your password to stay protected and safe from hackers.
