Sure: plenty of people all around the world are quite open with their work on agencies, which I think is a good thing as such. I am just saying that this openness probably then implies that the whole LinkedIn is at the databases of GRU/SVR, MSS/MPS/UFWD, cyber criminals, and whatnot.

On one hand, I cannot say whether that matters; CVs and such are probably worthy of being public for most people. On the other hand, identity theft is an ever-increasing menace.
As for fake personas in LinkedIn, there has been quite a lot of academic research on this topic. Though, like in social media, the ratio of real/fake is difficult to contemplate.
