Robert David Graham has confirmed the 6 million user dump as he had found his password for LinkedIn that he uses no where else.  Luckily the passwords where not plain text, all though it is not hard for attackers to crack the hashes as the passwords are encrypted with SHA-1.

An excerpt from the password hash dump:

The original file that included the 6 million passwords was located here: https://disk.yandex.net/disk/public/?hash=pCAcIfV7wxXCL/YPhObEEH5u5PKPlp%2BmuGtgOEptAS4%3D but as since been removed by the website.

Now we wait to see how long it takes the LinkedIn security team to find how and when they where breached.
