LinkedIn 'Intro'duces Insecurity | Bishop Fox

I know a fair few people on here use LinkedIn quite a lot, so worth a read for anyone with a profile

Just don't install the 'Intro' app, what does it do exactly? (apart from violating your life if what that linky says is true)

Well LinkedIn gets access to a lot of your data so they can sell you customized services, oh you mean for the use

I have an account but rarely use it. Within minutes of creating an account got spammed / invites from agents

Linkedin will add some context for you (i.e. more details about the person as pulled in from their linkedin profile).

Its one of those things where it seems like a good idea to absolutely everyone involved until its finally shown to the customer at which point it becomes exactly the opposite.....

I though that all apps on the app store were in some way certified by apple as 'safe', one would think that this type of behaviour would be considered as rampant arseholery by apple, obviously not if the article is true.
