LinkedIn hasn't said anything about whether any financial information associated with LinkedIn pro accounts was compromised, so we don't yet know for certain. In either case, you should always keep a close eye on your financial statements to make sure that nobody is using your accounts without your authorization.

In a blog post, LinkedIn says that it will email all the users whose accounts were affected by the hack and give them instructions as to what to do next. The company warns that you should not click on any email links asking you to change your password, as that could be someone attempting to steal your information.

If you used the same password or username on other websites (which you really shouldn't do), it might be a good idea to good ahead and change those for good measure. If you need help in building a better password, check out our on the matter.
