Anyone who is on LinkedIn may as well be dead.

Probably a good time to do with Linked in, the same as Facebook, Twitter and Google/ G-mail. Drop them.

More than half of my job is securing against this crap...

If you have a LinkedIn account, go change your password. Now.

Yes it does, just look at what the US did to Iran's nuclear enrichment program.

I was a victim of identity theft once.The company in the matter resolved it very quickly & my bank also did.I regret that whoever the perpetrator was did not try a second time.That's how they get caught.

I think it's all a set up by software companies like Norton, McAfee et al to scare us all into buying their over priced products.

I'm pretty good about keeping my secured stuff on different passwords/etc... than my unimportant stuff. But still, it's dangerous; I'd be more concerned if they hacked USAA of course.
