Who cares if their LinkedIn account gets hacked? In my case they'll be able to see 500+ recruitment agents I've never heard of as my 'contacts'.

  I think password reuse is the big deal. Lots of people use the same passwords on more important accounts, which they would mind losing.

    I know of a company that experienced a data breach (one that was reported in the news) due to an employee using the same password on linkedin as on their company account.

      Was linkedin verified to be the source of the password or is this just speculation?
      • ryan-c 10y ago
        The person at that company who I heard about if from claimed they were able to verify it.

  Password reuse, possible impersonation. If you work in a sensitive area, or deal with those who do, possible career, safety, or life risks.

  Just because you don't know how to use LinkedIn...
