I don't like this part of the full statement. It doesn't specifically address what assertions are incorrect and which are correct. Systems are and never will be 100% secure. No matter how much technology you throw at something, there is always going to be a balance between accessibility and security.

I do believe LinkedIn has a done a massive amount of due diligence (much more so than many other organizations would care to do) which is great and I'm glad they took the time to respond. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but there is an underlying assumption from the general populace that if a security expert says something is secure than this means this never can get hacked. Which I would respond - not true.
