If you're on LinkedIn and are thinking about verifying your account with them, maybe read this first. It walks through LinkedIn's privacy disclosure to identify 17 companies that may receive and process the data you submit, including name, passport photo, selfie, facial geometry, NFC data chip, national ID #, DoB, email, phone number, address, IP address, device type, MAC address, language, geolocation etc. Unsurprisingly, it seems the biggest recipients are US-based AI companies.

🚨 red alert 🚨 LinkedIn verification involves handing your telemetry for your career networking to, among others, numerous data vacuums like groqcloud and openai.
special thanks for Krebs for reminding me to cancel my subscription to linkedin "premium" which so far has mostly been an attack vector i pay for.
#privacy #infosec thank you 🙇🏻 to @briankrebs
