It looks like LinkedIn isn’t the only company dealing with password woes as of late.
Just one day after it was reported that 6.5 million LinkedIn user passwords were dumped onto the web, London-based music recommendation network Last.fm has just recently announced on their website that they too are “investigating the leak of some Last.fm user passwords.”
Though the company didn’t disclose how many users were affected by the issue or how the leak occurred, they still asked users to change their passwords just to be safe. At this point, it’s unknown how secure those leaked passwords actually are — LinkedIn caught some flack for storing user passwords as unsalted SHA-1 hashes, a practice they claimed they recently amended.
