#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.
This is illegal and potentially a criminal offense in every jurisdiction we have examined.
