A 68MB database containing LinkedIn data recently collected from 88,000 US business owners was shared on a hacker forum. The database includes full names, email addresses, workplace information, and other data points the owners publicly listed on their LinkedIn profiles. LinkedIn does not see scraping incidents as data breaches that could put users of the platform in danger. The data could still be used by threat actors to stage attacks against US businesses who are more affluent and potentially vulnerable to phishing and ransomware attacks. LinkedIn still does not seem to implement effective anti-scraping measures.”]
