6.5 Million LinkedIn Password Hashes Leaked
Agreed. That seems rather useless. How would that happen anyway? The usernames stored in a different database/table from the hashes?

They might need help cracking the hashes, keeping the usernames behind for their own exploits.

Or they may use this as an advertisment for selling the actual dataset.

LinkedIn allows you to sign in using any of your verified email addresses, so it seems likely that the usernames are at least stored in a different table.
