Smashing Security podcast #462: LinkedIn is spying on you, and you agreed to nothing

LinkedIn has been secretly scanning your browser for over 6,000 installed extensions – on every single click you make. It can tell if you’re job hunting, what religion you are, and whether you have ADHD. And none of this is mentioned anywhere in their privacy policy.

Meanwhile, California’s crypto millionaires are learning that no amount of encryption can protect you from someone who knocks on your door pretending to deliver a pizza.

All this and more in episode 462 of the “Smashing Security” podcast with cybersecurity expert and keynote speaker Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest Dave Bittner.
