It’s also possible that he quit instead. If I interviewed for a new job, accepted an offer, and then everything blew up in my face… I’d probably not want to stick around.
Yeah, I wouldn't want to work for a company that designed a system that allowed this sort of thing to happen either.
kinda disgusting he got fired for this if that was the case. Its a very sophisticated attack and I think its conversion rate would be rather high.
The article says they are no longer employed. It is possible that this exploit was only possible because of breaking other security policies.

At least, I hope that any reasonable organization doesn't secure $600+ million dollars by relying on the endpoint security of a device used to access LinkedIn

Opening a legit job offer PDF on your work computer could be considered a fireable offense. You should not be using company resources to find your next job.
