(Reuters) - LinkedIn's professional networking website has security flaws that makes users' accounts vulnerable to attack by hackers who could break in without ever needing passwords, according to a security researcher who identified the problem.
News of the vulnerability surfaced over the weekend, only days after LinkedIn Corp (LNKD.N) went public last week with a trading debut that saw the value of its shares more than double, evoking memories of the dot.com investment boom of the late 1990s.[Huffington Post]
