When commenting on the issue of the hacking of millions passwords of LinkedIns users John Sileo in the Washington Post shares a
personal story of how his on line identity was stolen and used (in my mind) a horrific way. It’s ‘there by the grace of God go I’ sort of stuff. John also gives some great tips on what to do after the hack as well as more general advice about on-line security.
Increasingly as both individuals and small businesses owners our web footprint gets larger and larger every day. So my advice is to read this article and act, ignore this to your peril.
LinkedIn – a lesson on internet security for your business.
This is such an important issue – please post more on internet security for small business (and personal too). Thank you.
Great post – well needed these days…. very helpful!
I totally want to not read this article and go as my peril but you have compelled me to do it. I too changed my password when this alert came out. Others saw it as a great PR tactic on the part of Linkedin…we have become complacent.
Thanks for your comments all
