Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm.
The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it.
Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

I hope they do. Hard to imagine a more ethical use for browser 0days than messing with LinkedIn users.

I need it coz i’m passionate about not starving and it’s the de facto job board in my field
But you run an ad blocker I’m sure
i mean wouldn’t it just block the whole thing?
