- therein 7y agoPrimary source. I used to work at LinkedIn. This would be the application security team's work. They have a pretty extensive anti-scraping initiative and I know for a fact that these are used to determine if the account is scraping or not. Someone on a different comment mentioned the "email-hunter" extension. That's exactly the kind of extension they are targeting. I remember many requests sent to support, asking why their account is terminated, and the response was usually "oh you used email-hunter" etc.
