LinkedIn gets sued over recent hacking scandal

LinkedIn gets sued over recent hacking scandal

Earlier this month, we wrote about LinkedIn's password hashes that have been reportedly posted on a hacking forum in Russia. Now it appears that the giant social network for professionals will be facing the federal court for the mishap. A class action lawsuit has been filed by a premium-paying LinkedIn customer Katie Szpryka who said that the company did not do enough to safeguard its users' digitally stored personal information, including email addresses, passwords, and login credentials. The complaint was filed in San Jose where Szpryka accused LinkedIn of failing to use industry-standard protocols to protect the information.
