I think it is irrelevant whether or not your password is on that list. Assume compromise and change the LinkedIn password, as well as any other passwords that use the same email account and password combination.I would also recommend caution in typing in your password into an unknown site like LeakedIn. You have no idea who is behind that site or what they might be collecting (or who might be monitoring traffic into that site). Your browser gives up a lot of information about you. Your IP address may also give up a lot of information about you. Every time that you enter a valid password into that site, you may be helping to build a database of passwords for someone who needs to decrypt passwords. 

(I would also encourage folks to review lists of the most commonly used passwords that were found in those hashes.Using swearwords in your password is not a good strategy.)


Now this may be my information security paranoia talking, but you're not paranoid when they ARE out to get you (or at least, your company). We blocked LeakedIn.
