I have a suspicion this app is harvesting all your LinkedIn contacts, uploading them to the app.sellhack.com server, and then as a "reward" for you giving up all that info, you can pull other contacts back out of sellhack.com.
If so, this is basically a Chrome virus.
- eli 13y agoYup, that's exactly what it's doing. It's grabbing mailto's, email addresses, twitter handles, etc off pages you see -- from you & your connections -- and sending them back to its server. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b15b1e3f6cfb8497e8f0#file-sellhack-js-L36 https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b15b1e3f6cfb8497e8f0#file-... By using this extension you are compromising your friends' privacy!
- pdq 13y agoThis brings up an interesting point of social engineering compromising LinkedIn. LinkedIn should immediately put a Captcha on their contact info display to stop this JS attack!

- Jxnathan 13y agoYes it does work. Click Hack In and then Inspect Element of the Hack In DIV's. You can see the e-mail address easily.
