Someone from Bardstown, Kentucky has just been trying to log into my LinkedIn account using credentials leaked from elsewhere, and I'm here chuckling about the little they would stand to gain from this fraudulent access. What's the endgame for compromised LinkedIn accounts? #InfoSec

@hypolite The endgame is almost always . LI accounts frequently have complete copies of their owners' professional address books, a valuable set of mostly high-quality addresses.

Very rarely (all day every day, but only to a tiny percentage of people) they are going after the account owner specifically or hitting contacts of their primary target to impersonate them.
