> Cory also postdates LinkedIn's security drama; he was brought in after the credential leak

Thanks, that was the thing I was most curious about: has LinkedIn really started taking security seriously and does it have any idea what it's doing? Because for those of us not following the ins and outs closely, going from "we don't salt our passwords" to "we want all of your email to pass through us" didn't just sound ill-advised; it sounded crazy.

I have no professional relationship with LinkedIn and all signs I can see point to them taking security as seriously as any other Large West Coast Tech Company --- which, if you're wondering, is actually a pretty high bar compared to the Fortune 1000.
