Last.fm is the latest site to suffer a password breach
Music website Last.fm is investigating the leak of "some" of its members' passwords, the UK-based company has said.
A message posted on the site's homepage advised all of its customers to "change their passwords immediately" as a precautionary measure.
The breach follows similar leaks at social network LinkedIn and dating site eHarmony.
Last.fm apologised, saying it took user privacy "very seriously".
