It appears that a complete list of all the hashes for the passwords of 
Linkedin users has been leaked.  Astonishingly Linkedin didn't bother to 
salt them, so it's possible to reverse-engineer the true passwords from 
them in many cases (apparently about 3.5 million have probably already 
been cracked).  If you have a Linkedin account you should change you 
password ASAP, and if you use that password on other sites linked to 
your name, you should probably change those too.
