LinkedIn 0day Vulnerability Puts Your Data at Risk

Today, corporate networks and websites face varying degrees of cyber-threats – ranging from widespread well-publicized threats like the recent Heartbleed bug, to those that are less well-known, but just as damaging, like “Man-in-the-Middle” (MITM) attacks. The latter cyber-threat threats are network attacks that allow hackers to intercept users’ internet communication, steal sensitive data and even hijack sessions.

LinkedIn is one of these websites.
