SHARE
A database with details of 700 million LinkedIn users has been found for sale on a hacking forum.
The database has been offered for sale since June 22 by a user called TomLiner on Raid Forums, including a sample of 1 million records provided to prove the claim. However, no price was listed to purchase the database. The listing said only that details could be obtained by contacting the poster and that payment could be made by MM/Escrow.
Privacy Sharks reported Sunday that it reviewed the sample and can confirm its legitimacy. The sample database includes full names, gender, email addresses, phone numbers and industry information.

The U.S. Army believes IoT devices, such as Amazon s Echo, pose a potential security risk for those working remotely.
The U.S. Army has deleted from its website a directive requiring all remote workers to remove or turn off IoT devices, according to the security firm Bitdefender.
The new requirement was issued in a memo posted to the Army s website on May 20 by the Army s CIO, Dr. Raj Iyer, that has since been removed, according to Bitdefender. The security firm found a cached version of Iyer s note.
Bitdefender researchers say such a policy is essentially unenforceable. But they acknowledge that many IoT devices lack adequate security.
