LinkedIn to Malware
ITNews reports that hundreds of fake LinkedIn profiles promising nude celebrity pictures are, as might be expected, lures to malware sites. Unlike other social sites, LinkedIn is likely not as easy of a target as other sites might be - limitations on profile visibility and the more closed networking circles that the site is based on will limit the spread, as will the content, which is not typical of a professional social networking site.
Targeting LinkedIn users wouldn't be very difficult - I wouldn't be surprised to see more advanced tactics in the future.

today's rhetorical question is: who in their right mind thinks nude celeb pics on linkedin (of all places) is legitimate?
That was my thought as well. Of course, we may just be in the wrong professional networks...
