Is your LinkedIn account password hacked?
Professional networking website LinkedIn suffered a major security breach of its password database recently. Reportedly a file containing more than 6 million hashed passwords appeared in an online forum in Russia. Out of these 6 million hashed passwords, more than 200,000 passwords have been cracked so far. The file does not contain user names but only has a list of passwords. However, the breach is serious and LinkedIn confirmed the hack on their official blog yesterday afternoon.
LinkedIn has taken immediate measures by sending emails to all compromised accounts with instructions on how to reset their passwords.
We recommend that all our users who have a LinkedIn account and have received an email from LinkedIn indicating that their password is no longer valid should remember the following:
1. Email received from LinkedIn will not have any links. It will consist of steps to reset your password. If you have received an email with links asking you to reset your password, the chances are the email is fake or a phishing email.
2. Do not click on any link in the email asking you to reset the password. To reset your LinkedIn password follow the steps given by the official LinkedIn blog here – “Official blog with steps.”
Even if you have not received an email from LinkedIn but are facing trouble while trying to log in to your LinkedIn account, you can reset your password by following the steps given by the official LinkedIn blog here – “Official blog with steps.”

It can not repair DATA RECVERY virus.
I am using two two Quick heal installed in my computor. Your are sending messages which make me sad and anxious.
good antivirus
very good service
why one month quick heal trial version show Files & folders and external drives with green & 2 OK ticks whereas emails and Internet & network protection shows 2 XX in red ie. not supported ? is it correct or is there any fault in loading the programme & should give all 4 round in green showing full protection?
Anand may be you have disabled Firewall Protection ,Phishing Protection and other features. If you want to enable them you can go into those menus and Enable them.

it feels very safe when we get informed about any kind of hack made anywhere by anyone so quickly and we feel secured wid quick hear antivirus. its amazing software. i wd only use this one in future.
Yes, the hack has been confirmed to be made in Russia. There is good news that “Used Id” information is not on the “Hacked List” and only passwords. Its bad news that Linked IN had not equipped their security with regards to data, however a Linked In official has told that “Salting” a security layer has been added.
Bottom line – If you have a Linked In account, Change your password.
will they send an email to our id
Yes you will receive an email from LinkedIn if your password has been hacked.

I have more than 18 quick heal anti virus total security liences purchased in the year 2011 and 2012 still valied for more than 6-8 months under pack of 10 users one lience + 3 usersx 2 lience + 1 user pack 1 lience. . I have noticed that on all our PCs Users Name and mobile numbers registered initially have been changed without our information . when we asked over phone the quick heal office at nehru place – new Delhi 110019 India , they says once users name registered with quick heal can not be altered or chanegd, but it have bben changed.
Now form last 1 months when we start our PCs , immediately a new window started appearing showing the name of the lience holder, Email address regsitered and mobile number with the massage that you can updat the users name, or email, or mobile number ” Now” or ” later” or ” Cancell”
Pl guide us how this can happen in world famous anti virus softwares.
