in early June, MySpace confirmed that they had stolen more than 360 million accounts, each with email, the name and password associated with each user. These accounts had been put up for sale in “hackers online forums.” This news came just three weeks after invalidating LinkedIn passwords 100 million users by a gap that had been in 2013. in both cases, the companies recommended changing all passwords that were identical or similar to MySpace or LinkedIn and be used today, as hackers could access them to other social networks, email accounts or bank accounts.

In some cases, users have received emails in which the company notifies them that already automatically reset your password because it was not protected.
