LinkedIn Scrapped Data Breach

[manu1991]

Looks like it's publically available data that's been scraped

Does it mean I don't have to pay for Sales Navigator now...

LinkedIn doesn't allow individuals to view email addresses, AFAIK. How exactly was it scrapped, I wonder.

 

[Sushubh]

i guess the data scappers used a browser user agent where linkedin is more generous with data it displays. usually i cannot even load a user profile as i don't have an account there so am not logged in.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator + a service such as Lush were used most likely. The data must be pretty valuable. Gold mine for SDRs.

I am very confused. I am pretty sure I deleted my account years ago.

 

[Navjot Singh]

LinkedIn always remembers.

On that note, I have an account and yet to receive an email. Lol

 

[Sushubh]

maybe the data of 125 million deleted accounts were left open to public. kaching!

Same as Navjot. So probably you are right Sushubh.
