CBS owned Last.fm says it is investigating a possible leak of users' passwords. Last.fm posted the following statement online, "We are currently investigating the leak of some Last.fm user passwords. This follows recent password leaks on other sites, as well as information posted online. As a precautionary measure, we're asking all our users to change their passwords immediately." Both LinkedIn and eHarmony were recently hacked and had a similar password issue.
The Last.fom statement reminded users it would not email users a direct link to update personal settings so users should probably ignore such a request if they receive one. "We're sorry for the inconvenience around changing your password; Last.fm takes your privacy very seriously," the site reads. "We'll be posting updates in our forums and via our Twitter account (@lastfm) as we get to the bottom of this."
