How is that possible? LinkedIn blocked mining the data this way several years ago.
Is it still possible if you pay LinkedIn enough? Or is this old data?
- tyingq 7y agoA large number residential proxies and fake LinkedIn accounts would look the same to LinkedIn as normal browsing.
- gorbachev 7y agoThere's information on the leak that wouldn't be widely available without accessing LinkedIn data using their APIs. Phone numbers and emails, for example.
- tyingq 7y agoThe article mentions it is a blend of data from http://oxydata.io/ http://oxydata.io/ and https://www.peopledatalabs.com/ https://www.peopledatalabs.com/ Both are aggregators that get data from many sources, correlate them, and sell it. The phone numbers and emails could have come from anywhere.

- avip 7y agoIt is strictly impossible to "block mining data" on the public web. Double that if the miner has free access to a pool of residential IPs. [source: experience]
