LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

1. Il semble que le scan réalisé par LinkedIn cible surtout des extensions de scraping/IA
2. Il semble que cette campagne soit le fait d'un développeur d'extension de ce type refusée par LinkedIn. #Vengeance

LinkedIn ne devrait pas faire ce type de scan, mais la précision me semble importante.

BrowserGate : LinkedIn soupçonné de surveillance massive, des données sensibles collectées - Les mots ont un sens

Nouveau bad buzz pour LinkedIn. Et pas un petit. Depuis quelques jours, la plateforme est accusée de jouer les espions directement dans le navigateur ouèbe de ses visiteurs. Nom de dossier : BrowserGate ↗.

À noter que Brave est aussi concerné par le scan massif de LinkedIn (vérifié avec un Brave fraîchement installé sous Linux)

Pour celles et ceux qui croient encore que Brave est un navigateur aussi efficace que Firefox + uBlock Origin, voici un exemple.

Det er ret afslørende, at de personer, der står bag #BrowserGate-undersøgelsen om #LinkedIns skjulte program til data-tyveri, har valgt at sagsøge #Microsoft for overtrædelse af #DMA i stedet for at indgive en klage til @EUCommission 🇪🇺 med henblik på offentlig håndhævelse

It's quite damning that the folks behind the #BrowserGate investigation about #LinkedIn's hidden browser extensions scanning programme have opted to sue #Microsoft in court for #DMA infringement rather than submitting a complaint for public enforcement to the @EUCommission.

It looks like they have little trust in the EU Commission to do that job quickly and effectively enough. 🤷‍♂️

Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers.

@Vivaldi is this allowed in your browser? 👀

LinkedIn scanne en secret votre ordinateur à chaque visite.
Logiciels installés, extensions, convictions religieuses, recherche d'emploi cachée… tout est collecté.
Sans consentement. Sans vous le dire.
Des poursuites sont en cours.
