*** LinkedIn  - major security breach. ***

If you or yours have a LinkedIn account, read on.
If not, be thankful, this is not the post you want, move along.

________________________________

Be very careful with emails claiming to have come from LinkedIn.
They have had a major security breach and are sending out genuine
emails to selected account holders suggesting that you change your
password. BUT the occasion has resulted in a number of people sending
out "phishing"  emails that appear to come from linked in, but don't.
some simply redirect you to illicit drug sales sights. Others may be
less benign :-).

  IF IN ANY DOUBT

1 - In your browser address bar enter www.linkedin.com
    (Or www.linkedin.com/settings if you trust that this email is from
ME :-) then step 3.)
        Do NOT use a shortcut or click on a link.
        ONLY access by typing in address.

2 - CLEAR THE PASSWORD FIELD !!!!
  - Click signin (small near bottom)

3 -  CLEAR THE PASSWORD FIELD !!!! (again if needed)

4  - Enter email address and click "forgot password?"

5 - An email with a link for password reset will be sent.

6 - Click link in THIS EMAIL ONLY

7 - ENSURE that address you are at starts "https://www.linkedin.com   "

                 note the S on https

8 - Proceed ...

___________________

Pardon me Sir, Did you see what happened ...?

"Hackers" stole at least 1.6 million ENCRYPTED LinkedIn passwords.

If you used passwords like "123456" or "password"  you are already
toast. Proceed anyway. The others they are trying to decrypt. Knowing
who you are makes this easier.
There may be many more than 1.6M addresses as it depends how many used
very poor passwords. Min should be OK, it's  ............... :-)

Facebook does not noew that 'decrypt' is a word.
(Yes, I nowe).
