Lex Friedman:
Two stories about potential user data leakage at the networking company trickled out late Tuesday and early Wednesday. One suggested that the LinkedIn iOS app may leak personal data from your calendar to the LinkedIn website; the second report indicates that a Russian hacker may have posted 6.5 million LinkedIn passwords on the Web.
I guess a little bit of security is too much to ask for.
They’ve always come off as a shady company to me. I’ve got my resume on there by request of a few places I’ve applied over the years, but I’d never trust them with anything more.
POTENTIAL leakage. Where’s the proof, the facts that LinkedIn is sharing any information outside of what they said and make folks agree to before it happens. Or proof that this hack occurred.
You’re judging them as guilty based on rumors. Yeah yeah you aren’t a reporter, you’re a blogger so the truth is insignificant. It’s all about the page hits so spreading a little FUD is par for the course if it means you make a couple more pennies for your coffers.
