NEW YORK (WKOW) -- If you're on LinkedIn, you may want to change your password.

The social networking company says more than six million passwords were stolen from its users. LinkedIn says the hacked passwords were then uploaded to a Russian-language web forum.

A Twitter account run by LinkedIn announced that the company "continues to investigate" but was still unable to confirm whether any security breach occurred.
