Interesting to note that this is their first communication about this issue that I could find that came from 'legalnotice@linkedin.com'. With this language they knew about the breach and didn't tell me?! It sets a scary precedent that users are only notified if the information becomes available online. I could be supporting Hillary Clinton and this could be used as a vector for attack before the data dump. 0 Day information has real value.

There are CEOs who run Fortune 500 companies who are just as clueless about technology. She was only referenced because lucrative targets for attacks may not use the best technical practices.
