A hacker claims to have 117 million LinkedIn log-in account details and has put them up for sale on the dark web – an illegal marketplace full of cyber criminals.
The business social network suffered a major breach four years ago in which it was previously thought a far smaller number of accounts had been compromised.
The hacker, known as ‘Peace’, says he has account information, including emails and passwords. He is asking for 5 Bitcoin for the data, which is the equivalent of around $2,200 (£1,507).
