That's for sure. I've got Linkedin invitations from people I didn't
know. I'd email them, and they had all gotten loads of complaints from
people they had not meant to contact. I blocked Linkedin on my computer,
and clicked the remove link, and all that.

LinkedIn Customers Allege Company Hacked E-Mail Addresses.

In an e-mail to Bloomberg yesterday, Deborah Lagutaris, whose LinkedIn
profile describes her as a tax preparer, real estate broker and former
law clerk, said LinkedIn contacted more than 3,000 people in her name,
including those copied in on her e-mail messages.

"This means that not only direct e-mail contacts but peripherals as
well," were used, she said. "I contacted LinkedIn and they said, 'Oh,
you can remove all those invitations from your account manually. We
don't know what happened.'"

Instead, she said she added a disclaimer to her LinkedIn page saying she
hadn't sent the invitations.

Jeffrey Barr of Livingston, said in an e-mail that he estimated LinkedIn
used as many as 200 names and e-mail addresses of his contacts, inviting
them to connect with him on the site.



LinkedIn software engineer Brian Guan described his role on the
company's website as "devising hack schemes to make lots of $$$ with
Java, Groovy and cunning at Team Money!" according to the complaint.
Java is a programming language and computing platform released by Sun
Microsystems in 1995. Groovy is a another language for the Java platform.
