Thanks for the heads up.

I changed mine as a precaution, but there was nothing on the LinkedIn home page about this. Might it be a hoax?

I've received several email that were disguised as coming from Linked-in. The are all asking for me to verify my email address. I ignored all of them.

I'm assuming that this may be part of the whole scam.

I received an email from Todd King, asking me for passwords to my Bank Account...Is this normal for an IMO to request?

He asked for mine also. But after a couple days he sent them back and said "never mind".

Well, I had my password hacked on linkedin! Good idea to change it all the time. Never log into anything twice.

You told me you needed to borrow mine since yours were not working. When will you give them back to me?

The bank has not contacted you yet? Then I will need them for a couple more days.

Perhaps LinkedIn didn't have time on their own to verify this information yet. However, I agree it cannot be a bad idea to change the password as a precaution. It's always a good idea to just change up your passwords every 3-6 months as you never know when security will be compromised online.
