LinkedIn Corp.'s training website Lynda.com informed about 9.5 million users about a data breach that included contact information and the courses some users viewed, VentureBeat.com reported Dec. 17, citing an emailed statement by a LinkedIn representative.

The database that was breached reportedly included passwords of less than 55,000 users, and the Microsoft Corp. unit has reset the passwords of some Lynda.com users. The company representative, however, said there is no evidence that any of the data was made public.
