Or, instead of buying stretched medication that can kill you, buy from somewhere like Costplusdrugs.

LinkedIn is closer to Facebook imo. The subreddit /r/linkedinlunatics is pretty funny, and also a bit scary. It's pretty interesting actually, on facebook you see people show off a manufactured persona that is always laughing, on vacation in exotic or glammy places, and on LinkedIn it's the exact same phenomena but the success indicators are different. I'm still a bit clueless on the whole LinkedIn influencer thing t…
r/linkedinlunatics looks like pretty funny satire, was hoping for tons of cringe instead

#83I never thought I would say this but LinkedIn seems to have gone even further downhill than it was a few years ago. You know things are bad when even the low end recruiters seem to have left the platform. These days 90% of the contacts/connect requests I receive are from dodgy pension "advisors" trying to get their hands on my pension pot cash.
Further downhill than secretly installing an IMAP proxy on your phone and hijacking all your email to go through it in a way that destroyed all TLS security to your real mail server? Impressive...
wait what?

#84I recommend filing a report with the Microsoft Security Response Center, especially in light that a malicious party may now have information on you, and as people below pointed out there may be (1) risk of Doxing, and/or (2) there are some suggestions that Microsoft (LinkedIn) employees may be compromised. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc (Report an Issue)
I wonder whether by compromised you mean: 1. compromised in the spy movie sense of them voluntarily passing information to the scammers (potentially for money) 2. compromised in the IT security sense of their accounts or computers having been hacked 3. some superset of 1. and 2.
Probably simpler than both of those, more as in - there are allegations/comments suggesting that there may be individuals holding trusted positions who may not be as trustworthy as one would hope (based on the potential pathways by which malicious parties may have identified the OP).
Insider threat is still a significant concern to companies, and were one representing Microsoft one might want to at least take a peek at what happened and make sure nothing untoward is occurring.
Standard Disclaimers apply. I am not a Microsofty, nor do I play one on TV. Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear.

You ever pick up someone else's litter in the park?
Are you comparing a public park to the website of a multibillionaire corporation?
I think the public park vs corporation distinction isn't the important bit here. It's a good deed intended to make the life slightly slightly better for people who interact with either space.

Illegal can have multiple definitions, and some advertisement can be illegal. No, it's not a shame. Mocking someone because their wording is imprecise is a bit shameful, though. Also against the HN guidelines. You can do better.

Humor is fine and accepted here - but in your pedantic mockery, I couldn't find something to laugh.

Remember that huge hack that started when that person accepted a LinkedIn request. I forgot which hack it was.

Thanks for highlighting this side of "Illegal drugs". For some time I had to order Naltrexone (LDN) for my partner with ME/CFS with bitcoin as it was impossible to find a doctor who could subscribe this, let alone know about this specific treatment. She benefited greatly and it would not have been possible without very spammy looking pharmacy sites and bitcoin. Luckily things have improved and this is now possible us…
Yeah, I can't say anything about Wickr, from the comments it doesn't seem like the best place indeed.
But In Brian Krebs' book he highlights the high quality of the drugs sold, and even the fact that big pharma investigated them expecting to bring people some scary stories, but they didn't find any. These pharmacies care about their customer's experience (of course they do, the want to sell you more).

#90Do social networks stand a chance against infiltration? With the high turnover of moderators, it's easy to get somebody on the inside to get to know the inner workings of the moderation process.
