Peace didn\u2019t do anything special. They didn\u2019t release classified information. They didn\u2019t break a bank. Instead, Peace did something so common it\u2019s worrying: they offered <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/security\/2016\/05\/then-there-were-117-million-linkedin-password-breach-much-bigger-than-thought\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to sell account information<\/a> belonging to some 117 million users on <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/what-the-dark-web-is\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Dark Web<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, Peace offered to sell login information belonging to 117 million LinkedIn users from a 2012 breach, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/read\/another-day-another-hack-117-million-linkedin-emails-and-password\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Motherboard\u2019s Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai<\/a>. That breach initially saw \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/257045\/security\/6-5m-linkedin-passwords-posted-online-after-apparent-hack.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">6.5 million account credentials<\/a> posted online. It now appears to be far larger than initially reported.<\/p>\n<p>And, unlike some cybercriminal claims, this one appears to be the real deal. LinkedIn is currently investigating the incident, but security experts have been <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/troyhunt\/status\/732838759390191617\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">declaring legitimacy<\/a> left and right.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, the leak has revealed that a lot of LinkedIn users\u2019 passwords weren\u2019t all that secure before being compromised. The most widely used password from the batch was\u2014you guessed it\u2014<em>123456<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips to Protect Your Password<\/h2>\n<p>The long and short of it is this: If you haven\u2019t changed your LinkedIn password since 2012, now\u2019s the time. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t use the same password in multiple places.\u00a0<\/strong>The best way to minimize damage from a breach is to give each online account you have a unique password. There\u2019s no getting around this. By using a variety of passwords, you limit how much access a cybercriminal could potentially access should even one account be compromised.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use a password manager. <\/strong>Keeping track of strong, unique passwords is difficult to do on your own. Keep track of all of them with a password management system that safely stores and retrieves encrypted passwords for you. There are a variety of these products out there, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truekey.com\/?utm_source=Garyblogk&amp;utm_medium=social_media&amp;utm_campaign=generic_links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">True Key\u2122<\/a> by McAfee, and they\u2019re simple to use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Enable multi-factor authentication.\u00a0<\/strong>Many online services, including social platforms, give users the option of a\u00a0using multi-factor authentication process. For example, you can be sent an SMS after logging in, to confirm you are who you say you are. Adding an extra layer of security goes a long way in protecting your accounts, making it difficult for criminals to break in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And, of course, stay on top of the latest consumer and mobile security threats by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/garyjdavis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">following me<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/mcafee_home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@McAfee_Home<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter, and \u2018Like\u2019 us on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mcafee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43387\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1.jpg\" alt=\"gary\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1-128x128.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, a cybercriminal group going by the moniker \u201cPeace\u201d made headlines across the Internet.
