One member of the Russian internet forum claimed that he had been downloaded 6.4 million passwords of the users of LinkedIn, where about 300 thousand of which are suspected of being the password to a weak level of security. The other members on the forum immediately request assistance from their fellow hackers to help solve the encryption of the passwords.

Internet security company CERT-FI has warned that hackers may have had access to the personal email of each LinkedIn user that the password has been solved, despite its status at this time appears to be still encrypted and unreadable.
