LinkedIn paid $1.25m (£810,000)
to address password hack legal claim following by stolen of millions of
passwords. According to Digital Marketing Agency, the
6.5 million passwords were stolen in June 2012 and posted to a website hosted
in Russia.
Those to pay to use the
LinkedIn service said launch legal action said that company does not protect their
data very well. In respond, LinkedIn used cash to share among LinkedIn’s paying
American users to deal with.
Mentioned in its website,
“people can file to get their share of the cash. Only those who paid to use the
site between 15 March 2006 and 7 June 2012 are eligible. The maximum each
person can claim is $50.”
The deadline of this claim is
on May 2, 2015, this year.
“LinkedIn
denied that it had done anything wrong and said the cash settlement was the
best way to resolve the legal claims and would "avoid the distraction and
expense of ongoing litigation,” stated on its website.
