Has anyone else had a problem with LinkedIn? I don't use it that much, but I was annoyed to find that some passwords were hacked and put on some Russian website - or something. It's hard to find out what really actually happened.

The irony is, that if your password was hacked, LinkedIn send you an email - telling you to go in and change your password! So does this mean my new one can be branded about in public too? Lol.

And now, I can't access it at all - is anyone else having problems? Or can shed any more light on what really did happen?

I had heard about this incident too.  Ironically I heard about it from another professional website I use.  I have not had any issues, haven't changed my password either.

Thanks for all your replies - I have reset my password and am ok again, althought my confidence in LinkedIn has fallen. I read about it on DD's home page.
