This is not really "Another Day, Another Hack" per the title. As the article states, these are data from the LinkedIn breach of 2012. The response from LinkedIn is here:

- delluminatus 10y agoYeah, it seems like "Another Day, Another Hack" is just the name of the series they use to cover security-breach-related news. It's unfortunate that it confuses the meaning of the article to imply that there was literally "another hack."
- weinzierl 10y agoI almost didn't read the article because I have quit LinkedIn in 2012 after the breach. I considered myself lucky that my account was not in the leaked data set. Now 4 years later: 167 million account, 117 million of them have email and passord, of 105 million the password has been cracked. This is huge compared to the 6.7 million accounts released in 2012. I'd be surprised if my account data wasn't in the data this time:-(
