Posted: Wed 2:18 PM, Jun 06, 2012

The business social network LinkedIn says it's investigating reports that more than six million passwords have been stolen and leaked onto the Internet.

LinkedIn isn't confirming whether any user data has been hacked or leaked, but researchers at a British Web security company say they've confirmed that a file posted on line includes some elements of encryptions for LinkedIn passwords.

LinkedIn has a lot of information on its more than 160 million members, including details of jobs being sought.
