Tip #2: Passwords Hacked from LinkedIn

Well, the people who stole these passwords can use them to change your LinkedIn profile, that's number one. More importantly, if your password is one you use elsewhere, especially if you use it in a lot of places, you'll probably want to change that password in all those places. i know its a big hassle but dealing with a hacked site is even worse.
