If like me you have a LinkedIn account it's time to change the password as today (7th June 2012) it's been confirmed that 6.5 million password have been stolen and compromised.
This following article from The Verge contains some details including the text from LinkedIn blog post confirming the breach http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/6/3068652/linkedin-member-passwords-stolen
If you're feeling a little inquisitive use the following site (only after you've changed your password) to see if your password is amongst the 6.5 million (mine certainly was) http://leakedin.org/
If you've used the same password for anything else, I'd strongly recommend you that also.
