LONDON, June 7 (UPI) -- Music Web site Last.fm says it's warning users to change their password after a data breach similar to those that hit LinkedIn and eHarmony.

"We are currently investigating the leak of some Last.fm user passwords. This follows recent password leaks on other sites, as well as information posted online," a Last.fm blog post said Thursday. "As a precautionary measure, we're asking all our users to change their passwords immediately."

The post did not say how many users were affected or how the passwords were leaked, CNET.com reported.

The London-based Web site said users should log in and change their passwords on the settings page.

The music site said it would not be e-mailing a direct link to update settings or ask for passwords, and any users receiving such a e-mails should treat them as spam.
