LinkedIn confirms calendar flaw (includes raw findings)

LinkedIn confirmed reports it is investigating a data breach, it also acknowledged a flaw researchers discovered in its calendar program. Back in April, LinkedIn added an opt-in feature to its iOS and Android apps that uses calendar event details to identify the LinkedIn profiles of individuals with whom users of the apps are scheduled to meet. Researchers from security vendor Skycure Security have analyzed how this feature works and found that LinkedIn’s iOS app doesn’t only inspect calendar meeting details locally on the device, but actually sends the information back to LinkedIn’s servers. This poses a serious privacy risk because some of the collected information can be highly sensitive.”]
