LinkedIn email addresses exposed by plug-in software
Found on BBC News on Tuesday, 01 April 2014
The email addresses of LinkedIn users can easily be exposed via a web browser add-on tool, it has been revealed.
LinkedIn said it was taking legal action over the plug-in and advised users to uninstall it.
"We are doing everything we can to shut Sell Hack down. On 31 March LinkedIn's legal team delivered Sell Hack a cease-and-desist letter as a result of several violations," a spokesman told the BBC.
Maybe LinkedIn should not make the email addresses public in the first place. They cannot really believe that with a simple C&D their design error will be fixed. On the other hand, today is April 1st.
