Gerald surely has a point there.
but, if you type your password in leakedin.org they promise they wont see your
password (and i didnt read the code fully either, but there is some hashing
going on) they will see your hash. if you did change your password (on
linkedin) they have no clue telling who you are and what your new password is.
and, btw, you can also fill in some other random passwords just to see what
people use as passwords.

Thanks Reinier for explaining. I am sure that many people do not fully grasp
the code.
So, are you saying that it is safe to check, or that all who have checked
should change their passwords again?
