Dating disaster: eHarmony confirms passwords exposed by LinkedIn hacker

One of the Internet's biggest online dating sites, eHarmony, has confirmed that security has been breached and member passwords compromised. eHarmony spokesperson Becky Teraoka says that "a small fraction of our user base has been affected" although I am led to understand that the 'small fraction' in question is actually around 1.5 million. The password hashes were published on a Russian hacking forum, with members asking for help in cracking them and converting the hashes into usable passwords.
