Social?music service?Last.fm is warning the entirety of its userbase that it may have had a similar security breach, affecting all of its subscribers.

The service isn't detailing the specific nature of the breach, but the fact that it is advising every single one of its users to change their passwords should be an indication that it was pretty major. In the?official statement released by Last.fm, the company links the breach to password leaks on "other sites," which we can only assume means LinkedIn.
