LinkedIn says it has not been hacked even though data from about half-a-billion users has been posted for sale online.

The company says the post was made on a website popular with hackers.

But according to LinkedIn, the information was taken only from users' public profiles.

A cybersecurity site says some of data can still be used by bad actors including for phone scams.
