Password leaks at LinkedIn and others

Is everybody up to speed on the latest Mass Password Security Breach? Millions of LinkedIn, eHarmony and Last.fm passwords were compromised. If you're on any of those sites--and if you tend to use a master password across many sites--you might take a moment and re-set your passwords at any sensitive sites (banks, porn-streaming, etc.)

Cnet has posted a good summary of the situation, highlighting the importance of always typing in the address of a site when you go to change your password. Never click through in response to an email from a site telling you to modify your password. It may well be a phishing scam.
