Though the passwords were more or less secure, but the training site isn't taking any risk.
Many of us would want to check our Lynda account on LinkedIn, whether we have one, & as it is in broadcast that it has been penetrated or something.
Less than a week after Yahoo confirmed a second data breach affecting nearly one billion users, another online social network has been targeted by hackers.
LinkedIn bought Lynda.com in April last year in a cash and stock deal valued at approximately $1.5 billion.
In June, LinkedIn was acquired by Microsoft in an all-cash transaction worth $26.2 billion.
In September, LinkedIn publicized the LinkedIn learning availability, which was a combination of Microsoft's resources with Lynda.com's content and LinkedIn's massive trove of professional and networking data.
LinkedIn's training site - Lynda.com is notifying users of a database breach that includes the passwords of just under 55,000 accounts — is the latest hack attack victim, although with a much lower number of affected victims.
During this, LinkedIn began notifying Lynda.com's 9.5 million users that an unauthorized third party had recently access a database containing customer information, their learning data & courses information.
“We are informing you of this issue out of an abundance of caution, while we have no evidence that your specific account was accessed or that any data has been made publicly available, we wanted to notify you as a precautionary measure" Lynda.com said in a notice to users.
