While not good, what's the connection to this story?

The article says some LinkedIn data was scraped, but I don't see anywhere that it specifically says a LinkedIn security flaw was used in the scraping. Although it is vague about what data was scraped and how, so it doesn't preclude that either.

In other words, are you saying a LinkedIn vulnerability was exploited here, or suggesting that it probably was, or are you just mentioning LinkedIn because it's tangentially related?

I signed up for an API key to see what they have on me, and the data it returned looks awfully close to what I have on linked in.
